▲ Russian Anthem from 2000

Many people loves their national anthem. Maybe it is outgrowth of patriotism partly.
But there is really beutiful and awesome anthems in this world, like Russian's.
This is the 'осударственный гимн Российской Федерации(National anthem of Russian Federation)'. Isn't it gorgeous?
In Korea, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was leader of enemies. So, this anthem was prohibit song until they collapsed in 1991. At now? I'll save the words for explain there are many fans of Russian anthem.

От южных морей до полярного края (From the southern seas to the polar lands)
