Russian National Anthem....they changed the lyrics since Soviet times, but it’s so awesome.

They really got the short end of the stick at the Tower of Babel.

Yeah, their anthem kind of has a snappy tune to it. I keep thinking of Nikolai Volkov, the wrestler in the WWF who sang it at the beginning of his matches.

Lots of percussion, for sure.. Russkies are good at percussions.

Heh, I admit it. I have always fancied myself a Cold Warrior type of person, but...the Soviet national anthem always sounded good to me.

All I can think of is this:

The lyrics were written by Sergei Mikhailov, who also wrote the Soviet national anthem.

Music is by Alexander Alexandrov, who is deservedly famous as the moving spirit behind the world famous A.V Alexandrov Twice Red Bannered Russian Army Ensemble.

The past and present continue on in Russia. It was the leading republic of the Soviet Union and gained sovereignty in 1990.

Yes— the music in their anthem IS awesome. First time I ever heard it, I was taken by it. Very inspiring.

I think they should wump up The Russian Hymn. I like that better.

Was I the only one who visualized a Red flag rising with a pic of Ivan Drago on it when that tune played?
