Russian lyrics
Россия — священная наша держава,
Россия — любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава —
Твоё достоянье на все времена!
Припев
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!
Припев
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!

Russia—our blessed country,
Russia—our beloved country.
A mighty will, a great glory —
Is your inheritance for all time!
Chorus
Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
Fraternal peoples, a union for the ages,
Common wisdom handed down by our forbears
Be glorious, our country! We pride ourselves in you.
From the southern seas to the arctic circle
our forests and fields spread before you
You are unique in the world, you are without compare
The land of my birth protected by God.
Chorus
Open spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our strength is given to us by faith in our country
Thus it was, so it is and always will be!
Chorus
National anthems of Russia and the Soviet Union
- 1791-1833: unofficially Grom pobedy, razdavajsya! ("Let the sound of victory sound!") and God Save the Queen
- 1833-1917: God Save the Tsar
- 1917: Otrechemsya ot starogo mira, Russian version of La Marseillaise
- 1922-1943: Internationale, adopted as the first national anthem of the Soviet Union
- 1944-1992: National Anthem of the Soviet Union, the "Hymn"; in 1977 there was a slight change of the lyrics in order to remove the mention of Joseph Stalin.
- 1991-2000: Prior to Russian independence the Patriotic Song (Patrioticheskaya Pesnya) became the national anthem of Russia. It has no lyrics; in 1999 there was a contest to add lyrics to the anthem, but the new text did not become official, since the new president Vladimir Putin wanted to change the anthem again.
- 2001-: National Anthem of Russia is in fact the old anthem of the Soviet Union, but the text was again rewritten by Mikhalkov (who also wrote the lyrics for the Soviet hymn).
