All politics aside their national anthem seriously whipped the everliving shit out of ours.


Really, it's not even close.  It's like America's national anthem is Edward Cullen and the Soviet Union's is Blade.  America's anthem is that big guy with the sword in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Soviet Union's is Indiana Jones.

I don't know what Russia's Anthem is saying, but personally...having been to Ft. McHenry and knowing the history of the song. I believe our anthem is amazing.

While I agree with the OP one must note that the theme composed by Alexander Alexandrov was so great it was adopted by the current Russian federation albeit with modified lyrics

The new lyrics are shown in the video in Russian and English.  

A better tanslation is found here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Anthem_of_Russia

This new version is certainly better than ours both musically and inspirationally.

Then again I confess I am still partial to the French National anthem,,,

The song is even better when you put on Red Alert 2 and do a suicidal charge of conscripts for a very limited objective.

The new version just doesn't have quite the same punch that it used to...

Sill kicks the crap out of ours though.  Along with a good chunk of the world.

Turkey, Romania, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and North Korea all have some pretty kick-ass anthems too.

it just shows the character of the countries that they come from.  USA is a lot more emotional and high pitched, while the USSR just sounds like a jumble of classical music.  Also matters who you get to sing it.  Some people can really suck at it.  OH and sometimes that doesn't work bc the French one is about killing people during the french revolution.  I still like how now we can mix the two.

The lyrics to the PRC's national anthem are lol.

Arise! All who refuse to be slaves!
Let our flesh and blood become our new Great Wall!
As the Chinese nation faces its greatest peril,
All forcefully expend their last cries.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Our million hearts beat as one,
Brave the enemy's fire, March on!
Brave the enemy's fire, March on!
March on! March on! On!
