"Let the Thunder of Victory Rumble!"[a] was a de facto national anthem of the Russian Empire in the late 18th and early 19th century.[1]

Instrumental recording

The lyrics were written by the premier Russian poet of the time, Gavrila Derzhavin, and the music by composer Józef Kozłowski,[2] in 1791. The song was written to commemorate the capture of major Ottoman fortress Izmail by the great Russian general Aleksandr Suvorov. This event effectively ended the Seventh Russo-Turkish War.

The tune is a polonaise.[2]

This anthem was eventually replaced by a formal imperial anthem, "God Save the Tsar!", which was adopted in 1833.
