Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there is a "Russian" slogan. Like, for instance, France has "Vive la France!"/"Vive le bleu!", America has "USA! USA!" etc. Does such a thing exist for Russian?

If you`re talking about supporting during sport events, the most common is "Оле-оле-оле-оле! Россия вперёд!"

Sports, or just some stereotypical Russian phrase you find in textbooks. It doesn't matter whether anyone actually says it ;)

I'm not sure if it helps, but...

it's not a slogan, but commonly used phrase "From Russia with love" ;-)

There's an interesting thing going on now...There is a comic TV programe in Russia called "Наша Russia" ("Our Russia", but in Russian it is rhymed) It shows typical life of russian people with a humorous hint...

I don't know whether it really concerns the matter, but the phrase is rapidly used now. In comic sense, but it is becoming some kind of brand =)))

Слава России!

+1.
However, it has acquired strongly nationalistic connotation.

Yep. This slogan exists. Igor Guberman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Guberman) wrote about it.
"ХУЙ ВСЕМ!!!" - its the only and true Russian slogan. IMHO it's the base of russian mentality. )))

What a coincidence, that's also my personal motto.

I was hoping for something more positive, though :P

isn't that dick?

[tyomniy.livejournal.com]

Yes. "Хуй" - "dick" ))

No. If you mean real slogan - what would people say. People in Russia very seldom associate themselves with a state, so we don't need such slogans.
But, officially it may be something like: "Слава России".

Most exact is "слава России!"

[alex-mashin.livejournal.com]

Слава России (http://wiki.traditio.ru/index.php/Слава_России)!

Thanks for your help, guys! :)

Well, if USA has "USA! USA!", then Russia certainly has "Russia! Russia!" (Россия! Россия!) At least I heard fans chanting that during the Ice Hockey World's :)

[towarysc.livejournal.com]

If you mean sports, the most common ones are simply "Рос-си-я! Рос-си-я!" and "Вперёд, РоссиЯ!"

I guess it was "Big Brother is always watching you !".

...k, just kidding.

[metaphorisch.livejournal.com]

The phrase "Я живу в непобедимой стране! :)" makes some sense)))
Frankly speaking I don't think there's a phrase that can be treated as a universal slogan. IMHO it depends on the situation, for example when a person receives a medal or insignia he usually says: "Служу России".
In case of some sport event it's "Оле-оле-оле-оле! Россия вперёд!"
