Where can I find God save the Czar?

[TteFAboB]

Greetings.

In the game Distant Guns, both the Japanese and the old Russian anthem are part of the soundtrack (not to say that they ARE the soundtrack :) ).

The Russian one is quite good, better than the current one shall I say. Of course, I'm only interested in the melody, to heck with lyrics, even though the lyrics aren't bad. And here's a preference for singing-along the Japanese one, I don't understand half the sounds (they call it words) I'm making anyway.

Where can I get a good version of the 1800's Russian national anthem? And cheap please.

Kapitain? :D

I actually have that song on my disk. I used it in an Operation Flashpoint campaign I developed. I downloaded quite a bit of Russian military music at the time. I still like to listen to the tracks every now and then.

One of the links on the Richka site Kaptain posted is this one http://www.hymn.ru/index-en.html (The Russian Anthems Museum).

Look here for a zillion different versions of all the Russian-Soviet-Russian anthems. Even the Glinka version (Glinka???) ;)

Still like the commie one the best. :arrgh!:
