history

The Anthem of the Russian Federation has the same melody as the Anthem of the Soviet Union . The text of the song was rewritten by its original author Sergej Michalkow, who had also composed the lyrics of the Soviet anthem.

In the period between the collapse of the Soviet Union and 2000, the patriotic song, without text, and therefore not very popular or perceived as uninspiring, was the official national anthem. Many people, including internationally active Russian athletes, protested because they would have liked to sing the anthem. In 2000, President Vladimir Putin reintroduced the hymn of the former Soviet Union, as mentioned above with a new text.

The first official date of the anthem was when President Putin took office in the Kremlin .
