Thanks for the reminder of this scene. Might go watch it now to cheer myself up (UK folks: 3 series of Servant of the People, plus a film, are free to view on Channel 4 catchup)
And glory, mountains blue, to you,
In ageless ice encased!
And glory, freedom's knights, to you,
Whom God will not forsake.
Keep fighting—you are sure to win!
God helps you in your fight!
For fame and freedom march with you,
And right is on your side!
from the Servant Of The People show, Vasily gets super mad and dreams about shooting the whole Verkhovna Rada with his bodyguard's guns, shoots the bodyguard at the end
