This anthem will never not carry incredible historical weight in my mind.

Every single seat is empty below Putin et al. Could you not find a better background?? Pretty powerful anthem though.
edit - maybe the athletes sit there...below Putin so they know there place.

That anthem always gives me chills, and I can't even understand the words.

Quote:
Russia – our sacred homeland,
Russia – our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory –
These are your heritage for all time!
Chorus:
Be glorious, our free Motherland,
Age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!
From the southern seas to the polar lands
Spread are our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind –
This native land protected by God!
Chorus
Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our loyalty to the Motherland gives us strength.
Thus it was, thus it is and thus it always will be!
Chorus

The people forming the flag had way too much trouble keeping formation, any marching band in the world would crush that. This ceremony is promising to really underline that the theme of the olympics is rushed work and underpreparation
