National Anthem of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Hymn of the Russian Federation (Государственный гимн Российской Федерации, Gosudarstvenny Gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii) is the national anthem of Russia. The anthem can be played during solemn or celebratory occasions, but it is required to be played at the swearing-in of the President of Russia, opening and closing sessions of the Duma and the Federation Council, and official state ceremonies. The second anthem, the Internationale, was also created by French nationals; Pierre Degeyter (music) and Eugène Pottier (music). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Anthem_of_Russia   (1717 words)

Talk:National Anthem of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Anthem of Russian Federation" (as opposed to "National Anthem") may work fine (and, as a matter of fact, is a more exact translation of "Гимн Российской Федерации"), but I do not really see the benefit of using one variant over another. This can be translated either as "State Anthem of the Russian Federation" or as "National Anthem of the Russian Federation". If you look at the definition of the word "hymn", however, you'll see that it has very little to do with national anthems—it is first and foremost used to describe hymns (and anthems) of religious nature. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Hymn_of_the_Russian_Federation   (1178 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/National Anthem of the Soviet Union National Anthem of the USSR (Hymn, Гимн Советского Союза) replaced the Internationale as the national anthem on March 15, 1944. In 2000, the old Soviet national anthem was readopted with Mikhalkov writing new lyrics to represent Russia's new non-communist nature. The song was originally written as the Anthem of the Bolshevik Party with lyrics in Alexandrine by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach in 1939. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Anthem_of_the_Soviet_Union   (730 words)

U. S. S. R. 1944-1992 - nationalanthems.info In 1936 Stalin decided a change in national anthem was needed, believing the lyrics of the "Internationale" spoke of work that was yet to be done by the workers of the world; Stalin, however, believed that the worker's ultimate goal has been achieved. It has since been readopted as the official anthem of Russia, but with new words to reflect its new democratic nature. Only Russia didn’t get its own anthem, however party authorities chose the lyrics of Stepan Shchipachev as the basis for further work and the famous composer Dmitri Shostakovich wrote music “Hymn of the RSFSR”, yet it was never adopted. david.national-anthems.net /sun.htm   (707 words)

United Kingdom - nationalanthems.info There is no authorised version of the National Anthem as the words are a matter of tradition; the anthem has also never been officially declared as the national anthem of the country, the royal anthem (as this technically is) is used as the national anthem as a matter of tradition. The song came to be referred to as the National Anthem from the beginning of the nineteenth century. (One might say that because of this fact, that the United Kingdom was the creator of the concept of a "national anthem".) Some 140 composers, including Beethoven, Haydn and Brahms, have used the tune in their compositions. david.national-anthems.net /gb.htm   (279 words)

Russia Reform Monitor No. 926, May 1, 2002 The stamp series, which celebrates the current spy agency’s links to its Stalin-era predecessor, is only the latest manifestation of a concerted effort to rehabilitate Soviet-era symbols; recently, the Kremlin adopted the music of the Soviet national anthem as Russia's current anthem. Last month Seleznev, who represents the Communist faction in Russia’s lower house of parliament, narrowly survived a challenge to his leadership that cost him control over the powerful Duma staff and forced him to cede the chairmanship of several key parliamentary committees. At the April 30th session, President Putin suggested that responsibility for the war in Chechnya could gradually be shifted to the Russian Interior Ministry (MVD) — a surprising move given that many regional MVD units have recently refused to serve in Chechnya. www.afpc.org /rrm/rrm926.htm   (529 words)

Russia, National Unity Day - JRL 11-3-05 For any state, especially a new state like the Russian Federation, it is only natural to look to history for support, and to attempt to make it a part of the national idea � the sense and purpose of the state�s existence. Secondly, today�s Russia is a state that arose not out of an idea, but out of a conflict between two political rivals: Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. Alexander Solzhenitsyn formulated the goal of saving ourselves from this fate as a national idea in his last television interview. www.cdi.org /russia/johnson/9286-4.cfm   (910 words)
