Anthem of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic

The State Anthem of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist RepublicTemplate:Efn was adopted and approved in 1947 as an official state symbol by the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. The authors of the lyrics were the poets Turab Tula and Timur Fattah. The music of the anthem is credited to Mutal Burhonov, whose music is retained in the current national anthem of Uzbekistan.

Background

The anthem was used 1947 to 1991. The music was composed by Mutal Burkhanov, and the words were written by Timur Fattah and Turab Tula. The anthem, such as those of the Tajik SSR and the Turkmen SSR, opens with a salute to the Russian people. The Uzbeks are not mentioned until the fourth line.

The melody is used in the current national anthem of Uzbekistan, with different lyrics. It is one of the four remaining post-Soviet countries, along with Russia, Belarus, and Tajikistan, to continuously use their Soviet-era anthems with different lyrics. The Soviet-era lyrics were removed after the Uzbek SSR changed its name to the Republic of Uzbekistan and declared independence on 31 August 1991, when Abdulla Oripov wrote new lyrics adopted in 1992.
