The State Anthem of the Republic of Kalmykia[a] was officially adopted on 30 October 1992. The music was composed by Arkady Mandzhiyev, and the lyrics were written by Vera Shugrayeva.[1][2][3]
History
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a competition was announced in the republic to create new state symbols of the Kalmyk Republic. On 30 October 1992, the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kalmykia approved the anthem, along with its flag and coat of arms. The anthem was also approved by the separate Law of the Republic of Kalmykia of 4 November 1992 "On the Supplement of the Constitution (Basic Law) of the Kalmyk SSR Article 158-1".[1]
Kalmyk Republic blazing and dazzling
Fulfulling everything it wishes for.
In its glorious hands it carries
Strong reins of life in unison.
Chorus:
With Ulan-Zala are the Kalmyk folk,
Let's adorn our natal steppes!
(𝄆) Let's devote to our homeland our power,
And live long merrily! (𝄇)
Our peoples of different tongues together,
The Republic is striving forth.
In noble incandescence of friendship flare,
Our future is becoming stronger.
Chorus
Glorified by children heroic and lasting,
The olden steppe has emerged.
Pouring diligence into learning,
The free name has been forged.
Chorus
Regulations
The order, place and time of execution of the anthem are defined by the Law of the Republic of Kalmykia of 11 June 1996 No. 44-I-3 "On State Symbols of the Republic of Kalmykia". According to Art. 16 of said Law, the anthem is performed during solemn ceremonies and other events held by state bodies when raising the national flag. After a newly appointed Head takes oath, the anthem is played right after. The anthem can also be played during openings of ceremonial meetings of the Parliament (e.g. People's Khural of Kalmykia) and during openings of memorials and monuments. It can be played during visits by highest officials of Russia (or its federal subjects), the CIS, and other countries (after their anthems have been played). "Khalmg Tanghchin chastr" is also played while state awards are being presented, and played during the openings and closings of solemn rallies, meetings, in honour of sports teams, and official celebrations. Additionally, the anthem can be played while laying wreaths to the graves of victims of political repression and those killed in the defense of their ethnic homeland.[4]
