Russian Olympic Committee Anthem (Instrumental) Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1

The replacement for Russia's anthem was approved by the IOC, after an earlier choice of the patriotic Russian war song "Katyusha" was rejected. A fragment of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 is used.
The Russian Olympic Committee (Russian: Олимпийский комитет России - ОКР) is the National Olympic Committee representing Russia. Russia's Olympic Committee was founded in 1911 in Saint Petersburg.
