Background
The anthem was used 1947 to 1992. The music was composed by Mutal Burkhanov, and the words were written by Timur Fattah and Turab Tula. This anthem (like the anthems of the Tajik SSR and the Turkmen SSR) opens with a salute to the Russian people, while the Uzbeks themselves are not actually mentioned until the fourth line. The melody is used in the current national anthem of Uzbekistan, with different lyrics. It is one of the four remaining post-Soviet countries, along with Russia, Belarus, and Tajikistan, to continuously use their Soviet-era anthems with different lyrics.
