Hymm of the Soviet Union
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed.
[Or the old way: Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,Inspire us to labor and valorous deed!]
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
In the vict'ry of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!
What a patriotic anthem!
National Anthem of the Russian Federation
Russia - our sacred sovereignty,
Russia - our beloved land,
Mighty will, great glory -
Are yours for all time!
Be praised, our free Fatherland,
Union of ancient fraternal peoples,
By our forefathers was given the wisdom of the nation,
Be praised, our land! We are proud of you!
From the southern seas to the polar lands
Are spread our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world!
Such is only you - Our native land kept by God!
Be praised, our free Fatherland,
Union of ancient fraternal peoples,
By our forefathers was given the wisdom of the nation,
Be praised, our land! We are proud of you!
A wide expanse for dreams and for life
The coming years open up to us.
Our loyalty to the Fatherland gives us strength.
So it was, so it is, so it will be always!
Be praised, our free Fatherland,
Union of ancient fraternal peoples,
By our forefathers was given the wisdom of the nation,
Be praised, our land! We are proud of you!
The vast dominions of the Russian Federation has been expressed in their anthem. How wonderful.
"Onward Singapore Onward Singapore..." our anthem pales in camparison to the Russian's. But still, PAP rocks... Basically, the Soviet and Russian anthem has the same tune, they just changed the lyrics. Come lets enjoy the Russian anthem together!
All right all right. Whats the use of having a magnificient anthem when the country is down in shambles. The Russian Federation as we know it now is regressing backwards. It has become something of a Kingdom, where your rights to own a car, have a job, get a house etc etc are determined by the King and his Court Advisers, namely Russian President Vladimir Putin and his group of ministers. Citizens now have to pay outrageously high taxes in order to start a business in Russia. In Russia now, if you want to start a business or buy over other business, the best bet is to get acquainted with somebody in the government. The bigger that somebody is, the better. The country may be bathing in petrodollars but the price of oil is bound to drop sooner or later. When that happens, Russia may lose another source of income, not that it has much left to lose anyway...
Hence, I conclude that the present government of the Russian Federation is dysfunctional. The time has come for me to assume the position of President of Russia. Under my reign, Russia shall prosper like its has never before. We shall overtake the Americans, Europeans and Chinese and become the world uberpower! We shall be the first country to send a man to the Sun, a feat deemed impossible by the world. (Our secret: send the man at night).
Therefore without further adue, I shall claim the Presidency of Russia! Hail your new leader! Mwahahahaha...
