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;
