The State Anthem of the Republic of Bashkortostan was adopted on 12 October 1993, and officially ratified by the Constitution of the Republic of Bashkortostan on 18 September 2008. According to Article 112 of the Constitution, the anthem serves as one of the federal subject's official state symbols, along with its flag and coat of arms.[1]
The anthem has official lyrics in two of the republic's official languages: Bashkir and Russian. The Bashkir lyrics were written by Bashkir authors Ravil Bikbaev and Rashid Shakurov. The Russian lyrics were penned by Svetlana Churayeva with the help of Bashkir musician Farid Idrisov, who also helped with the development of the music.
The anthem was first approved by the Law of the Republic of Bashkortostan "On the State Anthem of the Republic of Bashkortostan" on 12 October 1993.[2] [3] The music was originally composed by Farid Idrisov on 11 October 1990 for his song "Republic". The melody is partly derived from a Bashkir folk song titled "Bashkir: italic=no|Uralım" ('My Ural').[4] [5] The Ural Mountains, a important and sacred landmark of the Bashkir people, are mentioned in the third line of the first verse of the lyrics.[1]
On 6 July 1999, the Law "On State Symbols of the Republic of Bashkortostan" was approved, along with the order of execution and use of the national anthem.[6] [7]
The anthem is performed during opening and closing ceremonies and in meetings dedicated to state holidays. It is performed while taking the oath upon taking office as Head of Bashkortostan, during the opening and closing meetings of the State Assembly — Qurultay of the Republic of Bashkortostan, during the official lifting ceremony of the national flag, and during visits to the republic by foreign heads of state. The music of the composition is to be played in the E-flat major key.
There are both separate Bashkir and Russian vocal renditions. It is played in orchestral choir renditions, videotapes, television, and radio broadcasts.
