Description: "God Save the Tsar!" was the national anthem of the Russian Empire. The song was chosen from a competition held in 1833 and was first performed on 18 December 1833. It was composed by violinist Alexei Lvov, with lyrics written by the court poet Vasily Zhukovsky. It was the anthem until the Russian Revolution of 1917, after which "Worker's Marseillaise" was adopted as the new national anthem until the overthrow of the Russian Provisional Government.

Alexei Lvov accompanied Nicholas I on his visit to Austria and Prussia in 1833, where the emperor was saluted with the "God Save the King" everywhere. The melody of the "God Save the King" has been widely used by various powers at the same time since the end of the 18th century, including Russia. The emperor was unimpressed by the monarchical solidarity song, and upon his return, he ordered Lvov, his closest musician, to compose a new anthem. Under the title "Prayer of the Russian People," the new anthem, which music by Alexei Lvov, and lyrics by Vasily Zhukovsky, was first performed on December 18, 1833. On December 31, 1833, it was adopted as the Imperial Russian National Anthem. Under the new name of "God Save the Tsar!", which lasted until February Revolution of 1917.

The melody has been used for several English-language Christian hymns under the name Russian hymn.
