Little is known about the original recording behind this clip, which circulates online under the title The Glorious Russian Hymn and is tagged on some uploads with the nonsensical phrase chum drum bedrum. Rather than coming from a well-known film or song, it has spread as a short user-shared meme sound, passed between soundboards and video editors who use its exaggerated, anthem-like delivery for comic effect. Its staying power comes from that contrast: a voice that sounds completely serious while the words and situation are deliberately absurd.
