Can somebody identify this song?
Thanks in advance.

Russian national anthem, isn't it?

That's what I thought.

I checked the anthems here but they were not the same

Edit: I must be tired. They are the same. Thanks.
There are two versions, that's what confused me.

Ты ошибаешься! That is the same song. THe year 2000 one.

Lol ok, but both versions are the same song but have different lyrics!

Doesn't that happen to be the Русское Радио version they play every day at the start of their broadcasting, mr. Kwatts?

Kwatts - if you want *a bit* of comparing material:

Have fun

does anyone have the lyrics? post them here

Россия - священная наша держава,
Россия - любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава -
Твое достоянье на все времена!

Russia - our sacred empire,
Russia - our beloved country.
The mighty will-power, the great glory
Your fortune for all times!

Припев:
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Братских народов союз вековой,
Предками данная мудрость народная!
Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!

Refrain:
Praise our free Fatherland,
Century-long union of fraternal brothers,
Ancestral wisdom given to the nation!
Praise this country! We are proud of you!

От южных морей до полярного края
Раскинулись наши леса и поля.
Одна ты на свете! Одна ты такая -
Хранимая Богом родная земля!

From the southern seas to the polar regions
Our woods and fields stretched.
You are alone in the world! You are alone like such-
The native land guarded by God!

Refrain:

Широкий простор для мечты и для жизни
Грядущие нам открывают года.
Нам силу дает наша верность Отчизне.
Так было, так есть и так будет всегда!

The wide open space for dreams and for living
The coming years are open for us.
Allegiance to our Fatherland gives us strength
So it has been, so it is and so it will always be!

Refrain:
