Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble: Unofficial Imperial Russian Anthem (1791-1816)

"Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble" was composed in 1791 to commemorate the surrender and fall of the Ottomans during the Seventh Russo-Turkish War and to commemorate Catharine the Great for leading that victory. But since the songs royal tone stuck with a lot of the aristocrats at the time, it stayed as the anthem and a popular cheer for many years after. The song is also infamous for being the Russian anthem of the Napoleonic Wars and Tsar Alexander I.

Why can I not point at the straight connection between the ruzzian imperialism and the ruzzian genocide in Ukraine? It is quite obvious that the ruzzian murder of Ukrainians stands in direct line with ruzzian imperialist wars and genocides from the 18th up to the 21 st. centuries.

[@scottweisel3640]

The Bolsheviks have to share some blame for that as well. Had they not pulled Russia out of the war, Constantinople was promised to them at the end of the war. Of course who could trust them (Britain and France) to fulfill any promises they made? Plus, they would have had to fight Ataturk for it. Ataturk was perfectly happy to lose the Arab territories of the Ottoman Empire to the Europeans, but not Anatolia and Istanbul.

[@MrBulky992]

​​​@@overtimedemo4399It was about preserving the balance of power in Europe and ensuring that trade in the Mediterranean and links to the east were not disrupted by a hostile Russian naval presence there: making sure that no one nation had a monopoly on power. You only have to look at Napoleon and Hitler to see what happens if any one power is let loose on the European continent: it just swallows up all the neighbouring states.

The anthem of the Russian Empire under Alexander 1 was “God save the Tsar!”, the words of Vasily Zhukovsky, and the chant of the British anthem.“The thunder of victory...” was replaced by “How glorious is our Lord in Zion” under her son Paul 1. Who, because of his cruel treatment, hated everything connected with his mother (Catherine 2).

The tune of Zhukovsky's Imperial Russian anthem was specially written for those words by Alexei Lvov: the words and music were simultaneously created through a competition in 1833. The tune of the British royal/national anthem was never used for this poem - it could never have been as it has a completely different metre.

[@user-jo9xp4kp6h]

Regards from Sochi, Rusia ! For You ! "Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble!" (Russian: Гром побе́ды, раздава́йся!, romanized: Grom pobedy, razdavaysya!) was an unofficial . Russian national anthem in the late 18th and early 19th century. The lyrics are written by the premier Russian poet of the time, Gavrila Derzhavin, and the music by composer Józef Kozłowski, in 1791. The song was written to commemorate the capture of major Ottoman fortress Izmail by the great Russian general Aleksandr Suvorov. This event effectively ended the Seventh Russo-Turkish War. The tune is a polonaise. This anthem was eventually replaced by a formal imperial anthem, "God Save the Tsar!", which was adopted in 1833. Modern Russian: Гром победы, раздавайся! Веселися, храбрый Росс! Звучной славой украшайся. Магомета ты потрёс! Припев: Славься сим, Екатерина! Славься, нежная к нам мать! Воды быстрые Дуная Уж в руках теперь у нас; Храбрость Россов почитая, Тавр под нами и Кавказ. Уж не могут орды Крыма Ныне рушить наш покой; Гордость низится Селима, И бледнеет он с луной. Стон Синила раздае́тся, Днесь в подсолнечной везде, Зависть и вражда мяте́тся И терзается в себе. Мы ликуем славы звуки, Чтоб враги могли узреть, Что свои готовы руки В край вселенной мы простреть. Зри, премудрая царица! Зри, великая жена! Что Твой взгляд, Твоя десница Наш закон, душа одна. Зри на блещущи соборы, Зри на сей прекрасный строй; Всех сердца Тобой и взоры Оживляются одной. ---------------------------------------------------------- Transliteration: Grom pobedy, razdavaysya! Veselisya, khrabry Ross! Zvuchnoy slavoy ukrashaysya. Magometa ty potryos! Pripev: Slav'sya sim, Yekaterina! Slav'sya, nezhnaya k nam mat'! Vody bystrye Dunaya Uzh v rukakh teper' u nas; Khrabrost' Rossov pochitaya, Tavr pod nami i Kavkaz. Uzh ne mogut ordy Kryma Nyne rushit' nash pokoy; Gordost' nizitsya Selima, I bledneyet on s lunoy. Pripev Ston Sinaya razdayotsya, Dnes' v podsolnechnoy vezde, Zavist' i vrazhda myatyetsya I terzayetsya v sebe. My likuem slavy zvuki, Chtob vragi mogli uzret', Chto svoi gotovy ruki V kray vselennoy my prostret'. Pripev Zri, premudraya tsaritsa! Zri, velikaya zhena! Chto Tvoy vzglyad, Tvoya desnitsa Nash zakon, dusha odna. Zri na bleshchushchi sobory, Zri na sey prekrasny stroy; Vsekh serdtsa Toboy i vzory Ozhivlyayutsya odnoy.

1:13-1:23 Hey, something is wrong. I bet my citizenship that this is a Polish dance, polonez. What is it doing there... is it possible that Russians adopted it?

[@alexandervanhove7327]

Cześć! And they certainly danced the polonez to it, before they waltzed to it (the video doesn't respect that order). This song was indeed originally a polonez, as its composer was Józef Kozłowski, a Pole probably born in Belarus, but who later learnt to compose music in Warsaw. It might be said that this "anthem" broke an age-long habit of associating a country's hymn with church music. When the Russians replaced Józef Kozłowski's melody, they unfortunately returned to a church anthem, a Russian version of God Save the King. The problem with folk songs like Dancing Mathilda, once proposed as the ideal Australian anthem, is that you are supposed to play the National Anthem at state funerals...
