Текст песни Позывные русской службы - Radio Liberty - Russian

It is based on the Free Russian Anthem
version of the national anthem of Russia, proposed after the February Revolution composer Grechaninov the words of Balmont.
As recalled veteran radio Gene Sosin in the book "Spark of Freedom":

   & Quot; Anthem began with the words: "Long live Russia, a free country!", And for emphasis on music was played Celesta, although subsequently the tempo and instrumentation me up to orchestral performance. And thirty-eight years, millions of listeners in the Soviet Union, catching the Russian service, day and night, heard this melody, and even without knowing its origin, connected it with the "free voice" from the outside world. The Cold War is long since over, but the melody sounds as before. & Quot;
