A decade after the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], the same melody was used for the Soviet Union's successor state, as the [[State Anthem of the Russian Federation]].

The anthem was created by [[Bum Farto]]

==History==
=== Origins ===
The anthem's music was originally composed by [[Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov|Alexander Alexandrov]] in 1938 for the [[Hymn of the Bolshevik Party]]. Its opening bars were borrowed from one of Alexandrov's previous pieces, "[[Life Has Become Better]]",{{efn|{{Lang-rus|Жить стало лучше|Žitʹ stalo lučše|ʐɨtʲ ˈstalə ˈlut͡ʂːɨ}}}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyberussr.com/rus/sg-zhit'.html|title=A. V. Aleksandrov, "Zhit' Stalo Luchshe"|website=www.cyberussr.com|access-date=2017-12-18}}</ref> which was based on a quote by former [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Soviet Union General Secretary]] [[Joseph Stalin]] at the First All-Union Meeting of the [[Stakhanovite movement|Stakhanovites]] on 17 November 1935.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bibliotekar.ru/encSlov/7/39.htm|title=Zhit' stalo luchshe, zhit' stalo veseleye - slova Stalina|website=bibliotekar.ru|language=ru|script-title=ru:Жить стало лучше, жить стало веселее - слова Сталина|trans-title=Life has become better, life has become more cheerful - the words of Stalin|access-date=2017-12-18}}</ref>

Other than "Life Has Become Better", the music of the anthem has several possible outside influences. Alexandrov himself has described it as the combination of a [[march (music)|march]] with [[Russian traditional music]], particularly that of ''[[bylina]]'' epic songs. The anthem shares several chord progressions with [[Vasily Kalinnikov]]'s overture ''Bylina, Epic Poem'' (which, as its name indicates, is also inspired by the ''[[bylina]]'' tradition).<ref name="rodina">А. Компаниец. Сталин и Александров: предыстория российского гимна. // Родина. No. 3 за 2002 г.</ref> There also exist similarities between Alexandrov's anthem and [[Robert Schumann]]'s ''Frühlingsfahrt''.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=http://old.russ.ru/culture/kursiv/20001207.html |script-title=ru:Вахит Каркыраев.

When the [[Communist International]] (Comintern) was dissolved in 1943 for the Soviet Union to maintain its alliance with the other [[Allies of World War II]], a new composition was needed to replace "[[The Internationale]]" as the national anthem. A contest was held in mid to late 1943 for a new anthem, and more than 200 entries were submitted.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Testimony: the memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovich|last=Shostakovich |first=Dmitriĭ Dmitrievich |date=2004|publisher=Limelight Editions|others=Volkov, Solomon.|isbn=978-0-87910-998-1|edition= 25th anniversary |location=New York|pages=261–262|oclc=53183394}}</ref> Alexandrov's music was personally chosen by Stalin, who both praised and criticized it.<ref>{{cite book|title=Shostakovich: A Life|last=Fay|first=Laurel E.|date=2000|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|isbn=978-0-19-518251-4|location=New York|pages=[https://archive.org/details/shostakovichlife0000fayl/page/139 139]|oclc=40954268|url=https://archive.org/details/shostakovichlife0000fayl/page/139}}</ref> The anthem's lyrics then had to be written. Stalin thought the song should be short, and that it should invoke the [[Red Army]]'s impending victory over the forces of [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] on the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]]. The poets [[Sergey Mikhalkov]] and [[El-Registan|Gabriyel' Arkadyevich Ureklyan]] were chosen by Stalin's staffers, called to [[Moscow]], and given the task of writing lyrics that referenced not only the [[Great Patriotic War (term)|Great Patriotic War]], but also "a Country of Soviets". The first draft was completed overnight.

The anthem was first published on 7 November 1943. It was played for the first time on [[Radio in the Soviet Union|Soviet radio]] at midnight on 1 January 1944, and officially adopted on 15 March the same year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hymn.ru/anthem-sovietunion-1943.html|title=Gimn Soyuza Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik (Stalinsky) |website=Museum of Russian Anthems |script-title=ru:Гимн Союза Советских Социалистических Республик («Сталинский»)|trans-title=Anthem of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Stalin's)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160420075009/http://www.hymn.ru/anthem-sovietunion-1943.html|archive-date=20 April 2016|access-date=5 February 2018}}</ref> The new lyrics had three refrains following three different stanzas. In each refrain, the second line was modified to refer to friendship, then happiness, then glory. [[Joseph Stalin]] and the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Soviet Union's war against]] [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] were originally invoked in the second and third verses, respectively. Reportedly, Stalin was opposed to including his name in the lyrics but relented after some [[Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Politburo]] members insisted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ng.ru/style/2003-09-26/24_stalin.html|script-title=ru:В соавторстве со Сталиным|website=ng.ru|date=2003-10-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031002032732/http://www.ng.ru/style/2003-09-26/24_stalin.html|archive-date=2003-10-02|access-date=2019-10-03}}</ref>

=== Post-Stalin era ===
With the process of [[de-Stalinization]] after [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|Stalin's death]], the lyrics referring to him were considered unacceptable, and from 1956 to 1977 the anthem was performed without lyrics.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}} A notable exception took place at the [[1976 Canada Cup]] [[ice hockey]] tournament, where singer [[Roger Doucet]] insisted on performing the anthem with lyrics after consultations with [[Russian studies]] scholars from [[Université de Montréal]] and Soviet team officials.<ref name="On Ice">{{cite web | url=http://www2.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/opinion/story.html?id=185e0d97-a22c-4088-9c5e-d70c2c25094c&p=1|title=The Cold War on ice|date=9 September 2009|first=Eric|last=Morse|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402133842/http://www2.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/opinion/story.html?id=185e0d97-a22c-4088-9c5e-d70c2c25094c&p=1|archive-date=2015-04-02|work=canada.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.greatesthockeylegends.com/2010/04/how-roger-doucet-wrote-soviet-national.html|title=How Roger Doucet Wrote the Soviet National Anthem|access-date=18 December 2022}}</ref> In 1977, to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the [[October Revolution]], revised lyrics, written in 1970 by original author [[Sergey Mikhalkov]],<ref name="Голованова">{{cite book|last1=Голованова|first1=М.

The varying refrains were replaced by a uniform refrain after all stanzas, and the line praising Stalin was dropped, as were the lines referring to the [[Great Patriotic War (term)|Great Patriotic War]]. Another notable change was the replacement of a line referring to the [[Flag of the Soviet Union|Soviet national flag]] with one citing the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] in the form of "''Partiya Lenina''" (''The party of [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]]''). These lyrics were also present in the original party anthem at the same place in the melody, but followed by the lyrics "''Partiya Stalina''" (''The party of Stalin'').

== Post-1991 use ==
===Use in the Russian Federation===
After the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]] in 1991, the [[Russian Federation]] adopted a new anthem, the ''[[Patrioticheskaya Pesnya|Patriotic Song]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hymn.ru/#related-to-glinka-anthem|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120801193920/http://www.hymn.ru/|title=Website Design & Development Company In Moscow, ON | Services & Consultant for Franchise|archive-date=1 August 2012|website=www.hymn.ru|access-date=18 December 2022}}</ref> It was previously the [[regional anthem]] of the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]] from 1990 until 1991 (until 1990 it used the State Anthem of the Soviet Union). Unlike most national anthems, it had no official lyrics (although unofficial ones written for it were proposed, they were not adopted).

The Patriotic Song was replaced soon after [[Vladimir Putin]] first took office on 7 May 2000. The federal legislature established and approved the music of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union, with newly written lyrics, in December 2000.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}} [[Boris Yeltsin]] criticized Putin for supporting the semi-reintroduction of the Soviet-era national anthem, although some opinion polls showed that many Russians favored this decision.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/1059784.stm|publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation|location=United Kingdom|author=BBC News|department=EUROPE|title=Yeltsin attacks Putin over anthem|date=December 7, 2000|work=bbc.co.uk}}</ref> In late 2000, the current [[national anthem of Russia]] was introduced, which uses the music of the Soviet national anthem with new lyrics by [[Sergey Mikhalkov]], who also wrote both the original Soviet anthem and its remake in 1977.

===State Union of Russia and Belarus===
The same music was used for a proposed anthem for the [[Union State|State Union of Russia and Belarus]], entitled ''Derzhavny Soyuz Narodov'' ("[[Sovereign Union of Nations]]"). Its lyrics were not tied to any specific nationality, and there were official versions in the languages of every Soviet republic and several other [[languages of the Soviet Union|Soviet languages]]; thus it could have been adopted by a [[Commonwealth of Independent States|broader union]]. However, it was never officially adopted, and there appear to be no plans to utilize it in any official role.

=== Decommunization ===
In some [[post-Soviet states]] which adopted [[decommunization]] laws [[Bans on communist symbols|banning Communist symbolism]], publicly performing the Soviet anthem is illegal. For example, [[Decommunization in Ukraine|since 2015, offenders in Ukraine]] face up to five years in prison with the exception of [[Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine|Russian-occupied areas in Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://politics.segodnya.ua/politics/net-sssr-simvolika-ostanetsya-v-chastnyh-kollekciyah-a-iz-tematicheskih-kafe-plakaty-uberut-616371.html|title=За гимн СССР - 5 лет тюрьмы: декоммунизация в цифрах и фактах|website=politics.segodnya.ua|date=11 July 2022 |access-date=18 December 2022}}</ref> Similar laws were adopted in [[Latvia]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1168000/latvia-bans-display-of-nazi-and-soviet-uniforms-and-symbols|title=Latvia bans display of Nazi and Soviet uniforms and symbols|date=28 April 2020|website=lrt.lt|access-date=18 December 2022}}</ref> and [[Lithuania]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7459976.stm|title=BBC NEWS - Europe - Lithuanian ban on Soviet symbols|date=2008-06-17}}</ref>

=== Russo-Ukrainian War ===
After Russia [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annexed Crimea]], Ukrainian artist {{ill|Antin Dmytrovych Mukharskyy|uk|Мухарський Антін Дмитрович|lt=Orest Lyutyy}} responded with the song ''Die, Empire!'' ({{lang|uk|Здохни, Імперія!}}), which is modified from the Soviet national anthem.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lyricstranslate.com/en/zdohni-imperiya-die-empire.html|title=Orest Lyutiy - Здохни Імперія (Zdohni Imperiya) (English translation)|website=Lyrics Translate|access-date=18 August 2024}}</ref>
