On the podium, despite the forced neutral status and Beethoven's music, she loudly sang the Russian anthem, holding her hand over her heart.
"Its our Anthem and I will sing it"

Russia — our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory —
These are yours forever!

Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
Ancient union of brotherly peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!

Native land protected by God!

Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our loyalty to the Fatherland gives us strength.
So it was, so it is and always will be!
