THE EXPLANATION for the "poor" sounding ussr anthem and the better sounding usa anthem: This is a small brass band. The us anthem relies mostly on two voices, and is also FASTER, so this is practically made for a brass band. The ussr anthem has more voices, so it means less instruments per voice= less voluminous sound. The ussr anthem is written for orchestral interpretation, because it really relies on the sustaining sound of many instruments, including strings. They really didn't mess it up, trust me. They could have played the notes with a little bit more sustain, but of course they wanna save their breath for the us anthem.
Interesting fact: Reagan used to put his hand over the heart when both the foreign and the American anthems were played at an official visit. But at Gorbachev's visit, as an anti-communist that he was, he probably didn't want to put his hand over the heart during the Soviet anthem, so he didn't do that for the American anthem either, breaking the tradition of putting the hand over the heart when the Star-Bpangled Banner is played.
I thought the anthems were played nicely. The Soviet Union sang the US anthem, and the The United States played the USSR anthem. I find nothing wrong at all :D
Gorbachev wanted the USSR to keep united and to become a democratic state by the mid 90's. The hardliners made that impossible so all the republics started becoming independent in exercising self determination, which was entirely right. However, Yeltsin fucked it all up.
The musicians are doing an objectively fine job. The US's military bands are world class. But the arrangement and composition of the band make it sound unbalanced tonally. The "bass" / accompaniment parts are way overemphasized.

The USSR Anthem will be best heard if played by a String Orchestra, whilst the USA Anthem will be best heard if played by a Band.
So actually the USA Marine Band did not played it horrible in purpose.

Mr Gorbachev could not get a better honor from any other country. I'm sure he was impressed with the cannons.
On Cuba, Argentina and Germany use actually the cannons for Oficcials Visits!
India uses cannons for visits of foreign dignitaries
China uses cannons for foreign ministers/presidents
Everyone uses cannons as a salute, 21 gun salute if im not wrong.

With so many different ethnic groups ruled by Russia for 50 years, the USSR was bound to dissolve
the Soviet Union did not need Democracy, just needed to jump-start his economy and purge the traitorous rats from the Party.
