Only 5% claim for the melody of pre-Revolutionary Russian anthem. 13% of Muscovites claim for the compromise “combined” variant which is practised in national anthems of some counties. The question about national flag was also asked. 44% support the present-day tree-colour flag. 22% support the USSR flag, and 6% claim for the red flag with the image of the Saviour used by Russian troops in 1380 at the battle in Kulikovo field.
