# State Anthem of the Komi Republic

The State Anthem of the Komi Republic is one of the official state symbols of the Komi Republic, a Federal subject of Russia, along with its flag and coat of arms.

## Origin

This anthem's melody is based on the melody of Viktor Savin's song "Varyš pos" ('Falcon's Nest'), edited by Mikhail Gertsman – chairman of the Union of Composers of the Komi Republic. It was edited by V. Timin into Komi, as amended by Alexandra Shergina and Alexander Suvorov in Russian.

## History

The current text of the anthem was selected on a competitive basis between 2005 and 2006, where the participants were required to have an accurate version of Viktor Savin's song "Varyš pos" in the republic's two official state languages – Komi and Russian. As a result, Vladimir Timin's work was chosen in Komi, and Alexandra Shergina's work was chosen in Russian. However, when the anthem was being recorded, the phrase in her text «Верим мы, твоя судьба» ('We Have Faith in Thy Destiny') turned out to be inconvenient for the performers, so it was subsequently changed to «Коми край» ('Komi Krai'). Later, the co-authorship of the Russian version was recognized; and as a result, the anthem was officially adopted by the State Council of the Komi Republic on 22 June 2006.
A new version of the anthem in both languages was first performed on 22 June 2006 by the State Song and Dance Ensemble named after V. Morozova "Asya Kya" at the V meeting of the 8th session of the State Council of the third convocation.

## Law and regulation

Adopted in 1994, the State Anthem was approved by the Law of the Republic of Komi dated 6 June 1994 No. XII-20/5 "On the State Anthem of the Republic of Komi". It is performed macaronically in both Komi and Russian – the official languages of the Komi Republic.

## Lyrics
