State Anthem of the Latvian SSR (Latvijas Padomju Sociālistiskās Republikas himna)

The State Anthem of the Latvian SSR (Latvian: Latvijas Padomju Sociālistiskās Republikas himna; Russian: Gimn Latviyskoy Sovetskaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika) was the anthem of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic under the Soviet Union.

During Soviet rule, the previous anthem, "Dievs, svētī Latviju!", composed by Kārlis Baumanis was illegal and the anthem was approved by the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic on 19 July 1945. The original lyrics had references to Joseph Stalin until its replacement in 1977 when the references of him were removed. After Latvia regained independence in 1990, Dievs, svētī Latviju! was restored as its anthem on 15 February 1991.

The music was composed by Anatols Liepiņš, and the lyrics were written by Fricis Rokpelnis and Jūlijs Vanags.

Fun Facts: The Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic was also known as Soviet Latvia or Latvia.
