State Anthem of the Georgian SSR (Sakartvelos SSR Sakhelmts’ipo himni)

The State Anthem of the Georgian SSR (Georgian: Sakartvelos Sabch’ota Sotsialist’uri Resp’ublik’is Sakhelmts’ipo himni) was the regional anthem of the Georgian SSR. The anthem was used from 1946 to 1990. The music was composed by Otar Taktakishvili, and the words were written by Grigol Abashidze and Alexander Abasheli. All three stanzas (not including the refrain) in the original lyrics have references to Joseph Stalin, a native Georgian and leader of the Soviet Union at that time. These words were completely removed after Stalin's death as part of Nikita Khrushchev's de-Stalinization program. It is then replaced with new lyrics with no reference to Stalin itself. The last line of the refrain on the original version (Aq’vavdi, t’urpa kveq’anav — Ilkhine, kartvelt mkhareo!), which once existed on all refrains, was removed completely and replaced with also new lyrics.

It is one of three Soviet republic national anthems that does not mention the Russian people, the others being the anthem of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic and the anthem of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic.
