State Anthem of the Russian Federation - Russia

The "State Anthem of the Russian Federation" is the national anthem of Russia. It uses the same melody as the "State Anthem of the Soviet Union", composed by Alexander Alexandrov, and new lyrics by Sergey Mikhalkov, who had collaborated with Gabriel El-Registan on the original anthem. From 1944, that earliest version replaced "The Internationale" as a new, more Soviet-centric and Russia-centric Soviet anthem. The same melody, but without any lyrics, was used after 1956. A second version of the lyrics was written by Mikhalkov in 1970 and adopted in 1977, placing less emphasis on World War II and more on the victory of communism, and without mentioning Joseph Stalin by name.
The Russian SFSR was the only constituent republic of the Soviet Union without its own regional anthem, instead using the National Anthem of the Soviet Union. The lyric-free "Patrioticheskaya Pesnya", composed by Mikhail Glinka, was officially adopted in 1990 by the Supreme Soviet of Russia, and confirmed in 1993, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, by the President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin. This anthem proved to be unpopular with the Russian public and with many politicians and public figures, because of its tune and lack of lyrics, and consequently its inability to inspire Russian athletes during international competitions. The government sponsored contests to create lyrics for the unpopular anthem, but none of the entries were adopted.
Glinka's anthem was replaced soon after Yeltsin's successor, Vladimir Putin, first took office on 7 May 2000. The federal legislature established and approved the music of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union, with newly written lyrics, in December 2000, and it became the second anthem used by Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The government sponsored a contest to find lyrics, eventually settling upon a new composition by Mikhalkov; according to the government, the lyrics were selected to evoke and eulogize the history and traditions of Russia. Yeltsin criticized Putin for supporting the reintroduction of the Soviet-era national anthem even though opinion polls showed that many Russians favored this decision.
Official Lyrics:
Россия - священная наша держава,
Россия - любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава -
Твоё достоянье на все времена!
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Братских народов союз вековой,
Предками данная мудрость народная!
Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!
От южных морей до полярного края
Раскинулись наши леса и поля.
Одна ты на свете! Одна ты такая -
Хранимая Богом родная земля!
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Братских народов союз вековой,
Предками данная мудрость народная!
Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!
Широкий простор для мечты и для жизни
Грядущие нам открывают года.
Нам силу даёт наша верность Отчизне.
Так было, так есть и так будет всегда!
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Братских народов союз вековой,
Предками данная мудрость народная!
Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!
Romanized Lyrics:
Rossiya - svyashchennaya nasha derzhava,

English Lyrics:
Russia is our sacred state,
Russia is our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory -
Your dignity for all time!
Be glorified, our free Fatherland,
The age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorified, country! We are proud of you!
From the southern seas to the polar edge
Our forests and fields are spread out.
You are the only one in the world! You are the only one -
the native land so kept by God!
Be glorified, our free Fatherland,
The age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorified, country! We are proud of you!
A wide scope for dreams and for life
The coming years open to us.
We are given strength by our fidelity to the Fatherland.
So it was, so it is and it will always be so!
Be glorified, our free Fatherland,
The age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorified, country! We are proud of you!

[@macart5429]

1:16 The phrase with Tsar Nicholas’s salute over the phrase gave me goosebumps as an American-born Jew, who is a descendant of Russians(and Ukrainians) that escaped religious persecution in the Russian Empire. Even though I don’t like the current Russian government, I still can used this anthem to connect with my ancestors(despite its musical connection to the Soviet Union). I live in a community that a sizable Russian minority population.

Congratulations for your national holiday on 12th June Russia from your friends in Germany

[@slowmorbius8805]

We have never been friends and we will never be, your country has destroyed millions of our people in the past and will want it in the future at the behest of the United States and NATO. Your country is part of the militaristic projects of the United States aimed at destroying my country

[@CKPE777]

Putin is not a dictator.

[@Elena-ef7dk]

You are not our friend, you are the poodle of the USA. Germany has become a laughing stock. Do you like how the americans blew up the gas pipe and deprived the germans of industry? Of course you like it, because the american host is allowed to do anything. Putin is our choice and our president, and if people like you don't like him, then we have another reason to vote for him again.

Yes he is not if u call him a dictator ur leader is a dictator
