Not only is it sound, but also video, with some (in my mind) stunning camera angles and shots of the ceremony and the Kremlin. The video appears in National anthem of Russia, and is from the website of the Kremlin (licensed under CC-BY 3.0). I couldn't see any reason that video could be excluded from being promoted to Featured sounds.

• Support - My only question is can a video be both a featured picture and featured sound? This does not apply here as it is the audio that is good and not the video. Z gin der 2008-12-21T03:11Z ( UTC)
