Default Everybody, take a bow!


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!

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!

Great anthem and so flexible

Just shift a few words here and there and it's spruced up for the newly capitalist Russia. But i bet more than one in the audience was singing under his or her breath the version that included the name of the man of steel.

Which man of steel do you refer to?

As a figurehead shouldn't Dmitry Medvedev get to do stuff like that? I mean they let the queen do that sort of thing in Britain.

Seems like he's getting the shaft.

Oh and are these the Lyrics? And it's sung to an old Soviet tune right?

Russia — our sacred stronghold,
Russia — our beloved country.
A mighty will, a great glory —
Your heritage for all time!

Chorus:
Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
Ancient union of brotherly nations,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorious, country! We take pride in you!

From the southern seas to the polar region
Spread our forests and our fields.
You are the only one in the world! You are the only one of a kind —
Native land protected by God!

Chorus

A broad expanse for dreams and for lives
Is opened to us by the coming years.
Our devotion to our Motherland gives us strength.
So it was, so it is, and so it will always be!

Chorus

Well, if you interpret the sentence literally

But my intention was to call them to kneel before the Bear, because
"From the southern seas to the polar region
Spread our forests and our fields.
You are the only one in the world! You are the only one of a kind —
Native land protected by God!"



Grond, we have to create a pan-Slavic alliance. We'll count more than 200 million people and occupy half of Asia and half of Europe

What do you think about that?
