During Putin's 2018 presidential inauguration, bombastic music echoed through the Grand Kremlin Palace, cannons fired as salutes, and a choir sang 'Hail, hail our Russian Tsar,' a song commissioned by Nicholas I in the 19th century from an opera, with this performance occurring at the location where Tsars used to be coronated

“The choir performed this song only a stone stone's throw away from the location where the Tsars used to be coronated. And the opera out of which this song came was commissioned by Nicholas the First back in the 19th century.”
