National Anthem of the Russian Federation (Российская Федерация) — "Gimn Rossii" (Гимн России)
●●●▬▬▬▬▬✮✮DESCRIPTION✮✮▬▬▬▬●●●
The State Anthem of the
Russian Federation (
Russian: Госуда́рственный гимн Росси́йской Федера́ции, tr.
Gosudarstvenny Gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii;
IPA: [ɡɐsʊdarˈstvʲɪnɨj ˈɡʲimn rɐˈsʲijskoj fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨj]) is the name of the official national anthem of
Russia. Its musical composition and lyrics were adopted from the
National Anthem of the
Soviet Union, composed by
Alexander Alexandrov, and lyricists
Sergey Mikhalkov and
Gabriel El-Registan.
The Soviet anthem was used from
1944, replacing "
The Internationale" with a more Russocentric song. The anthem had no lyrics after
1956, due to the original lyrics having references to former leader
Joseph Stalin. New lyrics were introduced in
1977 by Mikhalkov with lyrics placing less emphasis on
World War II and more on the victory of communism.
The Russian SFSR was the only republic of the
USSR without its own anthem, although most republics within the federation did have anthems of their own. 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
President of Russia,
Boris Yeltsin.
The government sponsored contests to create lyrics for the unpopular anthem because of its inability to inspire Russian athletes during international competitions.
None of the entries were adopted, resulting in
President Vladimir Putin's restoration of the
Soviet anthem, albeit without lyrics. The government sponsored a contest to find lyrics, eventually settling upon a composition by Mikhalkov; according to the government, the lyrics were selected to evoke and eulogize the history and traditions of Russia.
The new anthem was adopted in late
2000, and became the second anthem used by Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Public perception of the anthem is mixed among
Russians. The anthem reminds some of the best days of Russia and past sacrifices, while it reminds others of the violence that occurred under the rule of
Stalin. The Russian government maintains that the anthem is a
symbol of the unity of the people, and that it respects the past. A 2009 poll showed that 56% of respondents felt proud when hearing the anthem, and that 81% liked it.
