The State Anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The Anthem is one of the main symbols of the state. The Russian term “gimn” for Anthem comes from the Greek word “Gimneo” and means solemn, ceremonial song. The Anthem serves as an important sound symbol with a key value for the effective socio-political consolidation and ethnocultural identification of citizens of the country.

In the history of sovereign Kazakhstan the national anthem was adopted two times: in 1992 and 2006.   

After gaining independence in 1992, a competition was announced to writing of music and lyrics of the national Anthem. Following the results of the competition, it was decided to retain the melody of the previous anthem, the anthem of the Kazakh SSR. Therefore, MukanTulebayev, YevgenyBrusilovsky and LatifKhamidi have become the authors of the first anthem. The creative team presented by Kazakhstan’s famous poets MuzapharAlimbayev, KadyrMyrzaliyev, TumanbaiMoldagaliyev and a young poetess ZhadyraDaribayeva won the poetic contest. 

The new State Anthem was adopted in 2006 in order to promote the country’s sound symbolism. It is based on the patriotic song “MenynKazakhstanym” (My Kazakhstan) which is popular among the people and written in 1956, with music by ShamshiKaldayakov and lyrics by ZhumekenNazhimedenov.

President NursultanNazarbayev modified the original lyrics of the song. The corresponding amendments have been introduced to the Decree “On State Symbols” at the joint session of the Houses of Parliament on January 6, 2006 and the Parliament approved it as a new State Anthem of Kazakhstan.
