building up heroism and glory.

The Ukrainian national anthem is so very different, sweet and haunting.

It reflects a different attitude to their country, it seems to me. Certainly no lack of patriotism, quite the opposite. But it doesn't seem like the same militance we so often hear in national anthems.
