Unofficial Anthem of the Russian SFSR (1947–1991, 1947 Lyrics) “Патриотическая песня”

In 1947, as part of the 800th anniversary of the founding of Moscow, it was planned to make “Патриотическая песня“ (The Patriotic Song) into a Moscow patriotic hymn, with lyrics by Alexander Masistov. The title of this edition is sometimes called “Moscow“ because of the content of the lyrics. It was popular during the Soviet era and was actively played and recorded. The song has been known under its current title of “The Patriotic Song“ since at least the mid-1940s. (This channel is not intended to support any ideology, government or religion).
