Russia's anthem has the same music from three different regimes—Soviet, Tsarist, and modern.

Russia's current anthem reuses the melody of the Soviet national anthem (1944), which itself borrowed from earlier Tsarist compositions. Russia literally kept the same tune while replacing the lyrics three times. It's the audio equivalent of recycling—same music, completely different propaganda, unbroken continuity of authority.
