The music for the anthem was written by Alexander Beloborodov. The Russian lyrics were composed by Armas Mishin and Ivan Kostin. The Finnish text was written by Mishin alone. The lyrics of the anthem are established by law. The melody of the anthem in most parts follows the melody of the Finnish traditional song Karjalan kunnailla. Since December 2001, the Russian text is the only official one.
