A song with a different tune was used as the Russian anthem from 1992-2000. Vladmir Putin made the change back to the old tune in 2000.

For a while the Russians also considered using the melody of the march "Farewall of Slavianka", which you might want to download if you like this sort of music.

And while you're at it look for "esli zavtra woina" or "belaya armiya, chornij baron". Most of that stuff can be downloaded legally.
