History edit

The anthem was approved by the Supreme Council of the Mari SSR on 9 July 1992.[1] The anthem was written by professional composer and member of the Union of Russian Composers Yuri Evdokimov to the words of poet and member of the Union of Writers of Russia Davlet Islamov [ru].[2] An original second verse was excluded from the official lyrics.[1] The Russian lyrics were written by Vladimir Panov [ru] and the Hill Mari lyrics by Ivan Gorny [ru].[3][4]

The description and procedure for using the anthem of the Republic of Mari El is not regulated by law.[5] The Regulations on the Anthem are in force, approved by the Decree of the Supreme Council of the Mari SSR dated 07/09/1992 No. 313-III, and the text of the anthem is contained in the appendix to this Decree.

In the years that followed, there were several attempts to change the anthem.

In January 2000, the Government of the Republic of Mari El announced a competition for the creation of a new anthem.[6] At the first stage, it was proposed to consider recognised works of Mari composers, as well as works by contemporary composers written specifically for the competition. At the second stage, it was proposed to choose the text of the anthem. The resolution stated that the competition was held in connection with the appeal of the public of the republic about the need to change the existing anthem.

In February 2007, a second competition was announced.[7][8] Unlike the previous competition, in the first round it was allowed to present music with text in one of the state languages of the Republic of Mari El (creative collaboration between composer and poet was encouraged). It was reported that eight applications from various authors were submitted for the first stage of the competition.[9] However, due to a lack of worthy contestants, the competition was declared invalid, and the Government announced a new competition with extended deadlines for the stages.[10][11] It was reported that this time 11 applications were submitted.[12] The results were supposed to be announced on 25 January 2008, but this did not happen.
