Background
The music was composed by Mukan Tölebaev, Russian composer Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Tatar composer Latıf Hamıdı, with lyrics written by Kazakh authors Äbdilda Täjibaev, Qaıym Muhamedhanov and Ğabıt Müsirepov. In 1992, new lyrics were adopted with the same melody as the anthem of independent Kazakhstan, until 7 January 2006.[2]
From 1991 to 1997, it is one of the five remaining republics that appreciated its old anthem (Russia used Patrioticheskaya Pesnya), and from 1997 to 2000, it is one of the only four remaining republics that does the same (Turkmenistan changed its anthem by that year). From 2000 until 2006, it is one of the five remaining again (Russia's new anthem was adopted in 2000). It is the only SSR anthem played in 3
