Dear Russia grew stronger amongst thunders

Dear Russia grew stronger amongst thunders (Russian: В грозах окрепла Россия родная) is the national anthem of the Russian Federation. It was accepted on the national referendum in 1996, soon after the inauguration of Gennady Zyuganov, the second president of Russia.

В грозах окрепла Россия родная Смелый, единый взрастила народ. Правдой великой свой путь озаряя К силе и славе вперёд поведёт! Славишься ты во всём мире веками, В честном бою ты сильна и смела. Знамя России, гордое знамя, Ты высоко над землей поднялось! В ратных трудах ты овеяна славой, Счастье народ и надежду обрел. Солнце встает над землей величаво, Ветер летит, как свободный орел! Славься, Россия - отчизна свободы! К светлым просторам идем мы вперед! Славься единство свободных народов! Славься великий российский народ!	V grozakh okrepla Rossiya rodnaya Smelyy, yedinyy vzrastila narod. Pravdoy velikoy svoy put' ozaryaya K sile i slave vperyod povedyot! Slavish'sya ty vo vsyom mire vekami, V chestnom boyu ty sil'na i smela. Znamya Rossii, gordoye znamya, Ty vysoko nad zemley podnyalos'! V ratnykh trudakh ty oveyana slavoy, Schast'ye narod i nadezhdu obryol. Solntse vstayet nad zemley velichavo, Veter letit, kak svobodnyy oryol! Slav'sya, Rossiya - otchizna svobody! K svetlym prostoram idyom my vperyod! Slav'sya yedinstvo svobodnykh narodov! Slav'sya velikiy rossiyskiy narod!	V grozah okrepla Rossiâ rodnaâ Smelyj, edinyj vzrastila narod.

Illuminating its way by the great truth It will lead forward to strength and glory! You've been glorious in the world for centuries In a fair fight, you are strong and brave! The banner of Russia, the proud banner, You are raised high above the ground! At military works, you're honored by the glory People have found happiness and hope. The sun rises majestically above the ground, The wind flies, like a free eagle! Be glorious, Russia, the country of freedom! We're going forward to the light scopes! Be glorious, the unity of the free peoples! Be glorious, the great people of Russia!
