There is another version, the current Russian national anthem. The funny thing is that quite a few Russians still sing the old version because they like the lyrics more (or are too lazy to learn new lyrics every few years).
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.

Which is not the only thing from the "good old days" that former-KGB-head Vlad The Impaler wants to bring back. Bush "looked into his soul" and saw good? Oh my aching ass, what an idiot.

He could have just been giving a political line there too; in the same way talks with Iran could actually make a difference... THEY WON'T.
All words attributed to polichickens always must be scrutinized with an electron microscope.

I like the Soviet National Anthem. It's much prettier than the US's, which really, is nigh as bad as "O'Canada". But Deutschlandlied still remains the most beautiful national anthem ever.

I'm not taking any anti-Star Spangled Banner nonsense off you morons.
I think the old Soviet anthem is very stirring, and La Marseillaise too. I think those two work best as being very powerful and moving from a purely musical and politically neutral point of view.

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.
Is the anthem of the Russian Federation still the "Meadowlands" melody? For some reason I thought they discarded that in 90-91.
