Anthem of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic

Anthem of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic

The State Anthem of the Ukrainian SSR ( _uk. Державний гімн Української Радянської Соціалістичної Республіки) was the national anthem of Ukraine when it was a republic of the Soviet Union and known as the Ukrainian SSR.

Background

The anthem was used from 1949 to 1991. The music was composed by Anton Dmytrovych Lebedynets, and the words were written by Pavlo Tychyna. In 1978, the second stanza of the lyrics was changed by Mykola Bazhan to remove mentions of Joseph Stalin. This is the version presented here.
