Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble: Unofficial Imperial Russian Anthem (1791-1816)

“Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble“ was composed in 1791 to commemorate the surrender and fall of the Ottomans during the Seventh Russo-Turkish War and to commemorate Catharine the Great for leading that victory. But since the songs royal tone stuck with a lot of the aristocrats at the time, it stayed as the anthem and a popular cheer for many years after. The song is also infamous for being the Russian anthem of the Napoleonic Wars and Tsar Alexander I.
