Russian Federation
About Anthem
The Hymn of the Russian Federation is an adaptation of the national anthem of the Soviet Union of 1944, with music originally composed by Alexander Alexandrov.
The lyrics were revised for the anthem of the Russian Federation by Sergey Mikhalkov, who had supplied lyrics for versions of the Soviet anthem in 1943 and 1977.
The revision removes any mention of Vladimir Lenin's ideas and the "unbreakable union" of the Soviet state, instead focusing on a country that is vast in area and rich in resources that will be entrusted to future generations (photo: Kazan Kremlin /source: Wikipedia)
