Putin said the combination of Soviet and old Russian symbols would help mend deep divisions in society, by paying tribute to the positive heritage of both periods.
Putin also cited opinion polls showing that most people favor the old Soviet anthem.
But liberal politicians and many leading cultural figures have assailed the reinstatement of the Soviet anthem, saying it invokes the memory of totalitarian rule and political repression.
