## History

*See also: List of Historical Anthems*

According to related studies by the **University of Ryukja**, there we're several classic compositions used as the national anthem of the country. But, the months following the **Red Shell** event, the national anthem *"Long Live the Republic"* was outlawed by communist rule, within years of the Lavontian Socialist Republic, there we're three anthems sorted from:

* *Internationale* (1923 - 1944)
* *State Anthem of the Soviet Union* (1945 - 1974)
* *Reign of the People's Republic* (1975 - 1991)

In late 1991, which followed the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, the former national anthem; *"Reign of the People"* was relinquished from it's placeholder, upon the declaration of the Second Constitution of the Republic of Lavontia, under the laws of decommunization and oppression against communism, the placeholder is being temporarily replaced with the Russian anthem "The Patriotic Song".

In December 1992. Viktor Fedoro found a score in the **National Library of Ryukja**, which contains the melody of the anthem of the Ukrainian SSR. This proposed an idea for him to make, reputably, and with only during his time left, it took around two to four weeks until he had submitted it on the **Post Office of Lavontia** in January, 1993.

During the 1st Lavontian Conference, a referral of laws relating to Lavontian heraldry, nationalism and symbolism we're mentioned, as in the aftermath, an nationwide voting for the country's national anthem was initiated, from April 6 to 16, 1993, around 86% of the population had already participated for the vote, and has been reviewed by the **Commissions of Electoral Voting**, as the results we're released, below:

On April 20, 1993, the anthem was officially adopted as the country's national anthem, and was played privately by the **Ensemble of the Lavontian Army** in front of *Four Pillars of Lavontia*. As for the anthem's publicity use, the government-funded **Lavontian National Television** also adapted the national anthem during sign offs at midnight, and later for the signing on phase at 5 am. Furthermore, some television corporations followed suit for adaptation, until it was taken into full-scale effect mandatorily.

кошь свадью и свох ки суй садзамiх.
кошь зночи репецта, сквозау за пазен.
Сазкой и Зпецтом ти ратула вох!
with happiness and serenity of thou prosperity.
with a better tomorrow, illuminates the path.
 **(Челад):**
Слави ет Саркие, стеку ки сужени!
Слави ет ратулëм зу ет секадьму!
Стекуй, тедвай валнья етні-вижн пракайь з радій.
А радзкей соцнам дая, вад братй суянмей!
Glorify the Fatherland, live for eternity!
Glorify the People for the ever-lasting!
Live, the waving blue-black banner through soaring night.
 II.
Еть солцëріт сестрів ди ватрëм, до кекiва.
даëт я дествья, ду ніле внератут.
Дай Саркие, зсцай дай косцварiю!
The sun shines with freedom, for unwavering power.
Risen from desolation, to a new generation.
я Ріюкя ду Hетзöд, влаг еть гратійь ватрëм!
А деставай пецад, зсцай ду мëтай палюй,
и трова страю до прогреціон и совліх!
from Ryukja to Hetzöd, gleams the light of freedom!
A desolated past, leads to better future,
