How many hymns does this country have, and who wrote the anthem of Russia?

Who wrote the anthem of Russia?Which of the several hymns are we talking about? After all, there were at least three. And if we consider that the modern Russian Federation is the successor of the USSR, then we can add three more. And after 1917, before the formation of the USSR in 1922, there were two more. So who wrote the Russian national anthem, which one and when?

The state abroad is usually recognized by threesymbols: emblem, flag and anthem. These three attributes are necessary for any self-respecting sovereign state. But it was not always so. The word appeared in the Greek language - "hymnos", and it meant a solemn song dedicated to the deity, this is a musical work of an official nature. In Europe, then, the most famous was the hymn of Great Britain, "God Save the King." It was used from the middle of the 18th century and was borrowed in the 19th century by more than 20 countries of Europe. Among them was Russia. After 1812, the Russian poet A. Vostokov composed the march "Song to the Russian Tsar". Later philologist V.A. Zhukovsky changed this text, and A.S. Pushkin added two verses to it. Therefore, it is difficult to say who wrote the anthem of Russia: Vostok, Zhukovsky or Pushkin. In 1816, in Warsaw, at the military parade, the first anthem was performed and gained the status of a state anthem. But it existed only until the 30s. And then the new Tsar Nicholas I once, out of boredom, said that he had been “bored with so many years of listening to English music”, after which he called the composer A.F. Lvov, who was loyal to him, and ordered him to compose a masterpiece of anthropomorphism. AFLvov commanded the Tsar's escort in combination, and in his spare time escorting he accompanied the members of the family of Nicholas I and his friends in the Tsar's home concerts. For the pro forma staged a competition, it was attended by many musicians. Was among them, and. I. Glinka. After much hesitation and thought, the music was written by A.F. Lvov. And the words were again composed by V.A. Zhukovsky. From December 1833, the new anthem was sung by all of Russia.

In 1917the hymn "God Save the Tsar" has lost relevance - Tsar Nicholas II abdicated power. Again a new anthem was required. Began the search. The Worker Marseillaise (Russian words laid on the original music of the anthem of the French Republic), written in 1875, seemed the most appropriate. By 1917, it was considered to be the unofficial anthem of the revolution. However, when during the meeting of the leader of the RSDLP, Vladimir I. Lenin, at the Finland Station of Petrograd, the orchestra began to play Marseillaise, Lenin suggested: “Let's sing the Internationale.” So in January 1918 he became the property of Soviet Russia, and then went into use by the USSR (until the end of 1943) and part-time III Comintern.

In 1943they decided to dissolve the Third Comintern, and the "Internationale" (as the party anthem of the Third Comintern) inherit the CPSU (b) (later - the CPSU) by inheritance. So the USSR lost its anthem. On the eve of these events, a secret competition was announced for a new anthem for the USSR. It was stated that the text must necessarily contain the names of Lenin and Stalin.

The war correspondent S.V. Mikhalkov and the poet G. El-Registan won the contest. Since the beginning of 1944, a new anthem of the USSR appeared. After Stalin's death and until the mid-70s

only music was played (author A.V.Alexandrov) or only the first verse and chorus - the text was attended by the name of Stalin. In 1977, with the adoption of the new Constitution, the text was rewritten. The author is again S.V. Mikhalkov.

In 1991, after the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation was again left without a hymn. For some time there was only the music of M. I. Glinka "Patriotic Song".

Russia received its last anthem in 2000.And, as you think, who wrote the Russian anthem in this version. Of course, honored writer of Russian hymns. And since 2000, the renewed anthem of Russia, the author of which is S.V. Mikhalkov, and the composer A.V. Aleksandrov, has sounded with a new force to the glory of a great country.
