I still think the Soviet/Russian anthem musically is the best.

And the current Russian lyrics actually mention “God”.

It is probably the most stirring national anthem. I remember watching TV as a kid in the early sixties and some game show played it and the contestants had to guess which country’s anthem it was. Nobody got the answer and when they said “Russia” you could have heard a pin drop. But it did come from the country that produced a Tchaikovsky, so maybe the beauty of the piece shouldn’t be surprising.
