The State Anthem of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic was the anthem of Kazakhstan when it was a constituent republic of the Soviet Union.
Background
The music was composed by Mukan Tölebaev, Russian composer Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Tatar composer Latıf Hamıdı, with lyrics written by Kazakh authors Äbdilda Täjibaev, Qaiym Muhamedhanov and Ğabıt Müsirepov. The Soviet-era lyrics were removed after the Kazakh SSR was renamed the Republic of Kazakhstan on 10 December 1991, In 1992, new lyrics were adopted with the same melody as the anthem of independent Kazakhstan, until 7 January 2006.
From 1991 to 1997, it was one of the five remaining republics that appreciated its old anthem, then from 1997 to 2000, it became one of four (when Turkmenistan changed its anthem). From 2000 to 2006, it is one of the five remaining again (when Russia changed its anthem). It is the only SSR anthem played in
4, with the majority of others using
4.
Lyrics
After Stalin's death in 1953, Nikita Khrushchev then came into power and established nation-wide de-Stalinisation policies. The lyrics of the State Anthem of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic would later be revised, per de-Stalinisation.
In the last line of the final stanza in the lyrics, the word Stalin (Kazakh: Сталин) would be replaced with Party (Kazakh: Партия) – in reference to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the official ruling party of the Soviet Union.
