Very uplifting. But I’m confused why this is labeled “misheard lyrics.” That’s exactly what I’ve always heard. Are there other versions?
I’ve read that while writing the anthem, its author, Sergey Mikhalkov, carefully accounted for the ever-shifting political winds—drafting a dozen variants for every possible outcome, including two in case Nazi Germany defeated the Red Army.
This particular version feels like it was tailor-made for Joe Biden.
So relieved you are pleased, Red Square. The jackalope devotedly searched the archives for what she hoped would be the best Russian Anthem version to accompany your proclamation. Your gratification that the jackalope served up the appropriate version is more than enough.
Forelock tug,
