"Державний гімн Української Радянської Соціалістичної Республіки" - Anthem of the Ukrainian SSR

The Ukrainian People's Republic had instituted "Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia" as its anthem in 1917. It was banned when the Russian and Ukrainian Bolsheviks took control Ukraine in 1920 and created the USSR in 1922. But they did not see any need for a Ukrainian anthem until the 1940s.
The idea of creating the anthem arose in context with introduction of the Ukrainian SSR to the United Nations organization, the creation of which was discussed at the 1943 Teheran Conference. In order to receive extra votes in the United Nations, Stalin came up with the idea to add two union republics - Ukraine and Belarus - which had to be portrayed as fully sovereign republics.In relation to that about a month later on 28 January - 1 February 1944 in Moscow was convened the 10th session of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union which adapted laws about creation of key people's commissariats (ministries) in union republics such as defense and foreign affairs.[1] Already on 3 February 1944 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet issued its Ukase "About state anthems of Soviet republics", according to which all union republics were obligated to adopt own anthems.
In spring of 1944 in Kiev was established a commission in preparation of anthem draft, which was headed by director of the Agitation and Propaganda section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) of Ukraine Konstantin Litvin.[1][c] The Ukrainian poets who participated in contest were given quite responsible and "delicate" task to create such "main song of Ukraine" that in all and completely would "fit" into the politically ideological context of the All-Union anthem ("State Anthem of the Soviet Union") and at the same time reflect the Ukrainian national characteristics.
The leitmotif or motto-theme of practically all variants of the Ukrainian anthem lyrics submitted at the contest became glorification of the "older brother - the Great Russian people"[d] and the "Vozhd of all nations Joseph Stalin".[1] Among such variants were examples that began with the following leading lines

Old Ukraine

@@soyuznerushimi Old Ukraine was better than modern Ukraine. There used to be prosperity and wealth. Now there is poverty, a propagandized society that considers its brothers enemies and the evil of the planet. They erect monuments to the murderers of the Second World War, burn people, and do not accept into society those who came from the East of the country or speak only Russian.
