Grom Pobedy (The Thunder of Victory). Valaam Ensemble

An old a capella Russian soldiers' song performed by the Valaam Ensemble against a backdrop of contemporary Russian patriotic paintings. Can you believe the basso profundo (Vladimir Miller)? How low CAN he go?!

Интересно, что этот гимн был частично использован П.И. Чайковским в 3-ей картине оперы "Пиковая дама". В.Э. Мейерхольд, в своей постановке перенёсший действие из екатерининской эпохи обратно в 1830-ые годы, заменил Екатерину II на Николая I, но гимн этот оставил (только вместо строк "Славься сим, Екатерина..." хор пел "Гром победы, раздавайся...").

@pask54 Absolutley. Pride, strength, Faith, family, bravery. Now compares these values of the past with the values of today: Selfishness, Metrosexual, Apathy, Ignorance, Secularism, Materialism.

I know where I look to for inspiration in how I should live. The past.

Triumph's thunder louder, higher! Russian pride is running high! Russia's glory sparkles brighter! We have humbled Moslem might. Refrain: Hail to you for this, o Catherine - Gentle mother to us all! Danube's swiftly flowing waters Are at last in our firm hands; Caucasus respects our prowess, Russia rules Crimean lands. Turkish-Tatar hordes no longer May disturb our calm domain. Proud Selim won't be the stronger evermore, as Crescent wanes.
