Ukraine war: New year in Putin’s Russia - nothing is normal The clock in the Kremlin\s Spassky Tower strikes midnight. The Russian national anthem plays. Then Channel One TV kicks off 2023 with a pop song: \"I\m Russian and I will go all the way…I\m Russian, to spite the world.\" Next on Top of the (patriotic) Pops: \"I was born in the Soviet Union, I was made in the USSR!\" I change channels. At the Russia-1 New Year party, one of the station\s most famous war correspondents is holding a champagne glass, toasting 2023 and wishing for \"more good news than bad from the front line\".
