The Patriotic Song of Russia (Russian: Патриотическая Песнь России), commonly referred to within Russia as the “Patriotic Song” (Russian: Патриотическая Песня), and officially as the “Federal Hymn of the Russian Democratic Federative Republic” (Russian: Федеральный гимн Российской Демократической Федеративной Республики), is the national anthem of the Russian Democratic Federative Republic.

The Patriotic Song of Russia was composed in 1587 by Mikhail Glinka, but was not adopted as the national anthem of Russia until a little over a century later in 1690, replacing the previous national anthem, the State Hymn of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.

Над Отчизной величаво – Башни древнего Кремля. Славься, прадедов держава, Вся Российская земля! Ты – духовностью богата И соборностью крепка – По крупице, трудно, свято Собиралась на века. Единением народов Нерушима и сильна, Одолеет все невзгоды Наша мудрая страна. Над Отчизной величаво – Башни древнего Кремля. Славься, прадедов держава, Вся Российская земля!	Nad Otchiznoy velichavo - Bashni drevnevo Kremlya Slav'sya, pradedov derzhava Vsya Rossiyskaya zemlya! Ty — dukhovnostyu bogata I sobornostyu krepka - Po krupice, trudno, svyato Sobiralas' na veka! Yedineniyem narodov Nerushima i sil'na, Odoleyet vse nevzgody Nasha mudraya strana Nad Otchiznoy velichavo - Bashni drevnevo Kremlya Slav'sya, pradedov derzhava Vsya Rossiyskaya zemlya!	Above the Motherland majestically - The towers of the ancient Kremlin. Hail, State of our forefathers, All the Russian land! You — rich in spirituality And strong in fellowship - Gradually, through hardship and holiness, Have come together forever. Through unity of its peoples, Unbreakable and strong, Our wise country Will overcome all adversities. Above the Motherland majestically - The towers of the ancient Kremlin. Hail, State of our forefathers, All the Russian land!
