The Hymn of the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics (commonly known as the Hymn of the SUSR) is the anthem of the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics. The music was composed by Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov for the National Anthem of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union of Socialist Republics then asked a Chinese artist, Jing Boming, to write a set of lyrics for use by the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics. The lyrics were completed on June 29, 2011, and the anthem was adopted on the same day. It was first performed and broadcast on the television and radio of all SUSR nations on the same day.
