In my opinion nothing comes even close to the Russian/Soviet anthem, although the version you shared doesn't do it justice. It needs to be sung by a men's choir:
Connery does it even better:
Damn, you posted that just as I was about to...
I previewed my posted and it was a dupe!
If only you knew how bad things really are.

Soviet Union by a wide margin. I feel im somehow viscerally conditioned to get goosebumps/shivers every time I hear it. I also get overtaken by emotion when hearing The Sacred War. Its as if they poured it into us as children.

My top 5:
1. The Hakka, (New Zealand)
2. La Marseillaise (France).
3. Russian National Anthem.
4. Brazilian National Anthem.
5. Fratelli d'Italia (Italy).

It is the deeper one, but not the most melodic Brazil and France win on that count.

Those Russian lyrics...holy shit. I also like the Brazilian one. And the US.
Maine and Canadian lobsters are the same animal. Prove me wrong.

I have always been a big fan of the Russian one. Especially when watching WWII documentaries when they defeated the Nazi armies while "fighting for mother Russia."
My two favorites of all time though are the U.S and Mexico's.
U.S. National Anthem- Freedom, democracy, bravery all things
Mexico National Anthem- Fierce and makes you feel like you're going to war and fight. Even the anthem says "Mexicans at the call for war." Very fitting for a World Cup match and a Boxing match.
Belinda's version- A more pop version of it.
I also like the chest salute to the heart.
But then again, I'm biased as hell.
