The State Anthem of the Russian Federation (Государственный гимн Российской Федерации, "Gosudarstvenny Gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii") is the national anthem of Russia. The song is an adaptation of the anthem of the Soviet Union that was used from 1944 until 1990, with music originally composed by Alexander Alexandrov. The lyrics were revised for the anthem of the Russian Federation by Sergey Mikhalkov, who also wrote lyrics for versions of the Soviet anthem in 1943 and 1977.

One of the Russian athletes just saw himself on TV singing along to the Russian anthem. It was cute to see his expression. #paralympics

It's funny how I learned the tune of the Russian national anthem watching Nikolai Volkoff wrestle in the '80s.

The Russian national anthem sounds so cheery when it's a bunch of children singing it. What happens if it's Chechnyens?
