The State Anthem of Crimea was the regional anthem of Crimea. Its Russian-language text was written by Olga Golubeva, and the music was composed by Alemdar Karamanov. The anthem was selected in a contest held by the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea on 26 February 1992, and it was officially adopted on 18 October 2000.
The anthem was used by both the Autonomous Republic of Crimea claimed by Ukraine, and the Republic of Crimea claimed by Russia.
In the Republic of Crimea, it was relinquished and replaced by a new anthem titled "Glory to Crimea, Our Ancestral Home" on 22 August 2025.[1]
