双语新闻：俄争议国歌中是否删“上帝”

　　"Russia, our holy country! … You are unique in the world,inimitable, protected by God as our beloved homeland!" Such are thelyrics of the new national anthem of Russia adopted in December 2000.The "God" in the lyrics, however, is becoming a target of a Russianpolitical parties' conflict。

　　The Novy Vzglyad newspaper reported Saturday that Boris Kashin, ofthe Chamber of Deputies of Moscow (the Duma)， has submitted a bill toreplace the phrase of the anthem that says "protected by God as ourbeloved homeland," with "protected by us as our beloved homeland."

　　Kashin said that, as most Russians are atheists, the lyrics do not represent the universal view of the people。

　　The national anthem is the symbol of Russia. It should accord withthe Constitution of Russia and serve to unite the whole society.According to Russian law, no religion should be above the Constitution,he added。

　　It is reportedly the second time that he has proposed such a bill within half a year。

　　Andrei Isaev, a party member of "Unified Russia" of the State Duma,criticized Kashin for blaspheming against the national anthem and themajority of Russian citizens。

　　The current Russian anthem is a collective wisdom, in which the Communist Party also took part in the revision。

　　The new adjustment satisfied the Communist Party by adopting the old Soviet anthem tune and retaining part of its lyrics。

　　He rebutted that the Communist Party intended to stir society to achieve its own political ambitions。

　　He said that if the Communist Party continues to focus on thechange of the anthem, the "Unified Russia" party would propose themoving of Lenin's tomb again。

　　Russian Orthodox Patriarchate Kirill said the Duma would not agree to remove "God" from the lyrics。

　　“俄罗斯，我们神圣的祖国……。您举世无双！您是上帝保佑的沃土。”这是2000年12月确定的俄罗斯国歌中的歌词，但目前歌词中“上帝”一词却成为了俄罗斯党派政治斗争的对象。

　　俄罗斯《观点报》27日报道，俄共议员鲍里斯?卡申近日再次向国家杜马提交要求修改俄罗斯国歌歌词的议案，建议在国歌中取消“上帝”一词，将歌词改为“您是我们保佑的沃土”。卡申认为，多数俄罗斯人是无神论者，国歌歌词不符合多数人的世界观。他认为，国歌是俄罗斯的国家标志，应当与宪法相符合，并能够团结整个社会。他说，根据俄罗斯法律规定，任何宗教都不能凌驾于宪法之上。据悉，这已是半年内他第二次提交类似议案。

　　对此，俄国家杜马统一俄罗斯党议员安德烈?伊萨耶夫认为，卡申议案是对国歌的亵渎，是对俄绝大多数公民的侮辱。现在的俄罗斯国歌是汇集多方意见修订而成，其中俄共也参与了审议工作。而且在确定以苏联国歌为新国歌旋律、以及保留部分歌词方面，更是满足了俄共的要求。伊萨耶夫认为，俄共试图以此来造成社会局势动荡，以实现自己的政治目的。如果俄共继续拿国歌说事，统一俄罗斯党也将再次提出迁移列宁墓问题。俄东正教大主教基里尔也认为，国家杜马不会同意从国歌中删除“上帝”一词。(作者：柳玉鹏)
