National Anthem of the Russian Federation


Россия – священная наша держава,
Россия – любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава –
Твоё достоянье на все времена!

Chorus:

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!

Chorus

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!

Chorus

-------------------------------------

Russia – our holy nation,
Russia – our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory –
These are yours for all time!

Chorus:

Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
Age-old union of fraternal peoples,
National wisdom given by our forebears!
Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!


From the southern seas to the polar lands
Spread are our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind –
Native land protected by God!

Chorus

Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our loyalty to our Fatherland gives us strength.
Thus it was, thus it is and always will be!

Chorus

And how is this not the Internationale? Oh, wait... they rewrote the lyrics.

Actually, it gives you a pretty accurate parallel about's the country's transparent "transition" from communism.

"Bad ass" is an american way of saying something is "great". I don't think it was an insult

Because the Internationale is set to a different tune, and stopped being the anthem of the Soviet Union in 1944 when Stalin decreed that the present melody and new lyrics would take its place.

So actually the modern anthem does not hearken back to the Communist International, but the Bolshevik Stalinist period.
