Yeah, the Canadian anthem is short, uplifting and joyful to sing along to. This Russian anthem sounds moe like a long hymn.

You know, I have a feeling that Sochi 2014 is going to be trippy on an epic scale.

Does anyone think the Russians are up to something? I feel like something in that building is being stolen while they sing a 10 minute version of their anthem.

I'm actually half-assing plans to try to be there. I've always wanted to go to Russia and the olympics would be a awesome.

Russia has a TON more culture/history than Canada does though, and I don't mind it. Russian history/culture is pretty cool.

I'm pretty sure we just shotgunned a couple brewskies and passed out on stage.
Of course we had to do it a second time, in French.
