# Anthem of the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic

The State Anthem of the Kirghiz SSR was the regional anthem of the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic, a constituent republic of the Soviet Union. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the anthem has since been replaced by the State Anthem of the Kyrgyz Republic.

## History

The music was composed by Vladimir Vlasov, Abdylas Maldybaev and Vladimir Fere, and the lyrics were written by Kubanychbek Malikov, Tulgebai Sydykbekov, Mukanbet Toktobaev, and Aaly Tokombaev.
The anthem was used between 1946 and 1992. During de-Stalinisation in the 1950s, the lyrics were changed to remove references to Stalin. When Kyrgyzstan became independent on 31 August 1991, lyrics were removed and only the melody of the Kirghiz SSR remained in use for a short period of time. On 18 December 1992, a new anthem was officially adopted by the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan.

## Lyrics
### Post-Stalinist version

| Kyrgyz original | English translation |
| Cyrillic script Latin script Азаттыкты Кыргыз эңсеп турганда, Ала-Тоого Октябрдын таңы аткан. Улуу орус достук менен кол берип, Ленин бизге бак-таалайга жол ачкан. Кайырма: Жаша, Кыргызстаным, Ленин туусу колуңда. Алгалай бер, гүлдөй бер, Коммунизм жолунда! Эмгек, эрдик, күрөштөрдө такшалтып, Таалай берген улуу Совет калкына. Жеңиштерден жеңиштерге алпарат, Элдин күчү – Лениндик партия. Кайырмасы Эл достугун болоттон бек ширетип, Көп улуттан Союз курдук урагыс. Жандай сүйүп даңктуу Ата Мекенди, Түбөлүккө Коммунизм курабыз. Кайырмасы Azattykty Kyrgyz engsep turganda, Ala-Toogo Oktiabrdin tangy atkan. Uluu orus dostuk menen kol berip, Lenin bizge bak-taalaiga jol achkan. Kaiyrma: Jasha Kyrgyzstanym, Lenin tuusu kolungda. Algalai ber güldöi ber, Kommunizm jolunda! Emgek, erdik, küröshtördö takshaltyp Taalai bergen uluu sovet kalkyna. Jengishterden Jengishterge alparat, Eldin küchü – Lenindik partia. Kaiyrmasy El dostugun bolotton bek shiretip, Köp uluttan Soiuz kurduk uragys. Jandai süiüp dangktuu Ata Mekendi, Tübölükkö kommunizm kurabyz. Kaiyrmasy | The Kyrgyz people have risen, seeking freedom, October illuminated the Ala-Too mountains. Great Russia welcomed us with warm friendship, And Lenin opened to us the road of happiness. Chorus: Live on, Kyrgyzstan, Raise the banner of Lenin. March onward, flourish onward, Along communism's path. Remaining through labour, bravery, struggle, Providing happiness to the Soviet people, Leading us from victory to victory, The strength of the people – the Party of Lenin. Chorus Unbreakable is the union of free republics, We have built a multicultural union. We love our glorious Motherland, We shall build Communism for eternity! Chorus |
