- The State Anthem of the Armenian SSR (Armenian: Հայկական ՍՍՀ օրհներգ) was the national anthem of Armenia when it was a republic of the Soviet Union and known as the Armenian SSR.
The anthem was used from 1944 to 1991. It was composed by Aram Khachaturian, a world-famous Armenian composer, who was known for his concertos and ballets, Spartacus and Gayane, the latter including the ever-popular Sabre Dance. Armenak Sarkisyan, who went under the pseudonym Sarmen, wrote the lyrics. Upon independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia adopted the anthem Mer Hayrenik ("Our Fatherland") in its place.

Soviet Armenian National Anthem lyrics
Սովետական ազատ աշխարհ Հայաստան,
Բազում դարեր դաժան ճամփա դու անցար,
Քաջ որդիք քո մաքառեցին քեզ համար,
Որ դառնաս դու մայր հայրենիք հայության:
Կրկներգ:
Փառք քեզ, միշտ փառք, Սովետական Հայաստան,
Աշխատասեր, ճարտարագործ-շինարար,
Ժողովրդոց սուրբ դաշինքով անսասան՝
Դու ծաղկում ես և կերտում լույս ապագադ:
Լենինն անմահ մեզ հուրն անշեջ պարգևեց,
Մեր դեմ շողաց երջանկաբեր այգաբաց,
Հոկտեմբերը կործանումից մեզ փրկեց
եվ տվեց մեզ նոր, պայծառ կյանք փառապանծ:
Կրկներգ
Մեծ Ռուսիան մեզ եղբայրության ձեռք մեկնեց,
Մենք կերտեցինք ամրակուռ նոր պետություն,
Լենինյան մեր կուսակցությունն իմաստուն
Հաղթորեն մեզ դեպ կոմունիզմ է տանում:
Կրկներգ

Soviet free world Armenia!
You passed a severe path for centuries,
Your brave sons struggled for you,
For you to become the Armenians' motherland!
Chorus:
Glorious be, glorious always Soviet Armenia!
Work-loving and architect-building,
Unbrakable by peoples' holy alliance,
You are blooming and creating your bright future!
Immortal Lenin presented us with eternal fire,
The happiness-bringing dawn shone upon us,
The October rescued us from the destruction.
And gave us new, bright and glorious life!

Great Russia extended to us the hand of friendship
We created a strong new state.

Music was made by Aram Khachaturian .
@asala2116, I hate the communists to death, but their National Anthems were always mighty and majestic.
I was looking for a Armenian friend. Basicly i hit a wall every time, as if everyone is secretive.
Makes sense why it’s so fucking bomb then

Out of all the Soviet Republic Anthems, this one is the best. I even think it's better than the Soviet National Anthem. It sounds very powerful and written and sung so beautifully. I'm not Armenian, but i can only imagine feeling lots of pride when hearing and singing this song as they would even with it's mentions of Lenin and Communism. It's Absolutely a magnificent piece of work Written by an Armenian for Armenians. I can't believe this isn't Armenia's current anthem. They should have changed the lyrics a bit and kept the music.
I couldn't agree more. Russians kept their Soviet anthem, with changed lyrics. Armenins could do the same. Just remove Lenin's name, replacing it with someone else, or replacing communism to armenianism, work-loving to freedom-loving or similar. It would be such a great anthem. This one isn't bad, but this Soviet anthem is way better. Not to mention that music was composed by Aram Khachaturian - a genious musician.
***** I tell you by 2015 we'll have new Empire with Putin. All Europe and former Soviet Union shall be liberated from western liberal opression.
not cause i'm Armenian, but an anthem can't be more perfect than this. our current anthem is good too. but this one makes me very powerful and proud.
yes,,, we supposed to change some of the lyrics. but people wanted to make a new anthem after the collapse of the soviet union so it becomes a fresh new start
Petros Markosyan Աստվա՜ծ հեռու պահի մեզ էդ բարբարոս տայգայաբնակների հոտից, որն իրեն ռուս ազգ է կոչում։ Ձեր պուծինը չէ՞, որ կործանում է մեր երկիրը։ ԵՄ-ի գաղափարական կողմնակիցը չեմ, բայց լավ է Արեւմտուտքը, քան էդ նողկալի պուծինը։
David Horvat
Khachaturian's music is amazing.
This anthem was composed by Aram Kachaturian. May his soul rest in peace.
Aram Khachaturian was inspired by an Armenian prayer. He turned minor key into major key.
If you pay close attention to the music, it really sounds very spiritual.
We should go back to this (of course by changing some lyrics).
Do you agree dear fellow Armenians?
Imagine the entire people singing a powerful prayer!
Why change some lyrics though? Most Armenians in Armenia prefer soviet Armenia
@@Andy-km1xp Dear Andy, with all due respect, you must be misinformed on public opinion in Armenia. SOME prefer, most don't.
@@Lucine.Hairapetian Barev, Luciné. According to recent Pew Research polls, about 80% of Armenians say the fall of the Soviet Union was a bad thing. Here’s the poll: www.pewforum.org/2017/05/10/views-on-role-of-russia-in-the-region-and-the-soviet-union/
@@Lucine.Hairapetian I’ve heard different.
Nah, I am for Sardarapat
This should be the Armenian national anthem again, with a new text without references to communism. The music and the melody is a masterpiece worthy of a great composer like Aram Khatchaturian. Definitely USSR’s best anthem.
They could've done the same as Russia and Germany. Its the same rythm, but not the same lyrics
Currently this year is also the year of the Ottoman Empires collapse so fuck you turkey 🖕
no thanks, the current one adopted from the First Republic should remain
I really prefer this anthem over our new anthem . Reason is the power in the music.

I honestly believe Armenia should go back to this Anthem it shows just how proud we are as a people this was the best one obviously we would change some words but this is what they need to use.
I dont want Lenin or socialism to be in our national anthem
+Vazrik CarefreeUTC change the lyrics keep the music
feided I do agree. It's a much more patriotic and cooler melody
fahik "free Soviet Armenia" lol socialism and freedom are antonyms xD. Ramgavarism and classical liberalism are the closest thing to true freedom.
I don't know the first line poses some logistical problems for me. (i.e.: the USSR was NOT free)
Respect to our brother of Armani , this anthem is great
Armenians and Persians always brothers

I'm not even Armenian, I speak some Russian but this is way better. Glory to Armenia 💪🇦🇲
fyi this masterpiece was composed by Aram Khatchurian, one of the legendary composers in the 20th century.
This anthem is full of passion but also a feeling of HOLY. ( From a Chinese comment 😊)
I hope Armenia (Hayastan) change the melody of their current anthem to this but without communist-related lyrics
They should just rework some of the lyrics and keep this anthem. You can feel the power emanating from every sentence
Amen

The most beautiful anthem melody ever created!! Current Armenian anthem is far away from this. Same situation with Lithuanian anthems - soviet was musically way better,
No one does anthems better than the Soviets
Thank you friend! From a Celtic fan in Armenia!
Though I totally understand that the Armenian people wanted to build a new nation with a new anthem when they said goodbye to Russia, I wish they had kept this music with a different lyrics suitable for new Armenia. One of the most powerful national anthems i've ever listened to.
LB2007 “a new nation with a new anthem” sounds really illiterate since Armenia is older than Russia, it’s actually one of the oldest countries in the world and Armenians existed long before Russians, we fought Arabs, Persians, Mongols, Seljuk Turks, Assyrians, Romans. Back in the days when Armenians had their alphabet Russia didn’t even exist..
@@NygorakhonKekadhunama This melody is written by Aram Khachaturian, the legendary Armenian composer. He definitely is not a communist or enemy. This anthem is infinitely better than the current one.

Omg comrade. This anthem made me impressed.

In 1991 Armenia became independent from the former soviet union

Congratulations for your national holiday in 21st September Armenia from your friends in Germany
Hum, I think if Armenians are here, they would probably pro USSR. Also every Armenians I saw in my life are neutral about uSSR or pro USSR.
Joseph Staline No the old brainwashed Armenians might be pro Soviet but the new enlightened generations of Armenians such myself are against communist soviets, fuck them all! They gave our ancestral Armenian lands to Turks and Azeris, (Western Armenia to Turks, Artsakh and Nakhichevan to Azeris and should I mention Javakhk that was also Armenian and was given to Georgians?), then in attempts of forming a Russified one soviet nation they forbid Armenians to talk about Armenian history especially the pain many Armenians have been through during Armenian Genocide, or about our heroes such as Garegin Njdeh or General Andranik. This fucker named Stalin sent my own grandparents for 10 years of gulag in Syberia!!! The roads of Syberia are filled with bones of our ancestors dying there while being forced to work endlessly! Should I mention that it’s Russians and Americans who play cat and mouse with Turks? One day they hate each other, the other day they love each other and make business together? Especially Russians who make huge amounts of money on the Armenian-Azeri conflict!
Joseph Staline I hate how the old generations are romanticizing the Soviet times describing it as this lala land where everyone had a job and went on vacation every three months while forgetting to look at the bigger picture and seeing how badly they fucked up our country! If Armenia kept on being independent, just like they declared in 1918 and the further Sovietization wouldn’t occur then Armenia would have been much richer and more advanced now! God! How I hate the communists, the ottomans and everyone who tried to impose themselves on our Armenia!!! Long live our ancient nation who has suffered so much! We gotta cut our country some slack, everyone is criticizing our country but they forget that in the span of 100 years our country has been through a Genocide, World War I, World War II, then Communism, then the tragic earthquake in 1988, then Artsakh war in the 90’s then the massive emigration, where more Armenians have fled the country than stayed, then corrupted oligarchs trying to sell our Armenia to Russia... It’s only now that we try to begin a new life...I don’t know about Pashinyan, I don’t like him but at the same time I’m glad that the revolution happened since we got rid of that pro Russian puppet Sargsyan...
@@AR-ef1rs amen bro
A R About our independence in 1918 I would like to say that there was no way for us to stay independent or else Turkey would have annexed us if Soviets do you really want Armenians to be persecuted again in turkey and also there is a reason why 66% of all ex soviets citizens prefer times where ussr existed ?
my favorite anthem
This is a very very religious anthem. Shows that communism was a religion.
I prefer this anthem as it is patriotic and I think it was suitable to be the USSR anthem.If it was,they would change the writing and language but if the same meaning.
Armenia's REAL NATIONAL anthem is already uploaded, but it is forgotten by all. It is called AVEDIS.
Hays, Kurds, Hellenes and Persians=The True Euro-Aryans
Kurds?:D
Armenians, Persians and Greeks are true Aryans, but not kurds, kurds are not Aryans. Show me one kurd before 15th century. Aryans = Armenians, Greeks, Indians, Italians (All groups from Romans/Latins to Italics), Germans, Britains (not GB) , etc ...
Beautiful anthem
Didn't know Khachaturian was Armenian, I love how this anthem sounds (I love the current one too but this is much more powerful I think)
He has one of the most obvious sounding Armenian names.
No his name is clearly Vietnamese 🤦🏻♂️
Կեցցե Հայաստանը!!!!!
So much better than the current anthem
this is too badass

Respect from ( Kolxeti Megrelia )
Even though I am not a supporter of communism, this was a beautiful anthem (despite a few hypocritical words such as the first words. "Soviet free world-Armenia".
Kristapor Aintabtsi why? They were actually free to have a job, a decent housing, free to have food, free to work without being opressed. Now they are free, free to lose their job, free to be exploited, free to strave to death, to lose their house, to get into debt...
Zorghon player In western Europe democracy is understand as voting for diferent political parties, nothing else, and what is worst, all the major parties defend the same idea. They concept of freedom is far well from what you said, true liberty to grown as an individual in a colective society
willy sanchez hmmmm...
Zorghon player sure dude, it's not a joke, not irony. Sorry for my bad English
willy sanchez Well you know, these people take socialism like a synonim of the end of freedom or sorta, nothing could be further from the reality

they should make "harach nahadag" the national anthem. Forward, immortals of a martyred race...it even sounds like a marching song.
We should have kept the music of Khatchadourian and change the wording a little, it would have been better.
As a Pole I can tell you that Azerbaijan acquired Nagorny Karabakh, region which is mostly populated by Armenians. It was occurred by Soviet government which had been implementing the divide and conquer strategy on Caucasus.
Smart man. I've visited Warsaw. Very beautiful city with rich and unfortunate history. ( You know, the invasion in WW2 )

@clipmaster30001 Heh, I'm Greek, and I think it sounds rather a lot like a cross between Greek and Turkish. Leaning on Greek more, but this is not a surprise as some linguists have hypothesised Greek and Armenian are quite closely linked among Indo-European languages!
How are you doing over there, Armenians? There are many people of Armenian descent in Greece, but they only retain their names. :-( You barely hear the language anymore, a great shame! :-( Still... WE ARE BROTHERS! REJOICE!
You know it's a very old video when it says "rate" instead of "like"
The Soviets really knew how to create greatness! The current anthem is like made for little girls
Armenia and Azerbaijan have the two best anthems of the USSR 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Most probably you like the anthem because of its tone and the music of Aram Khachaturian, a world-class composer.
Today Soviet Armenia complete 100 years!!!

This should be the anthem but without the reference to communism.
most epic anthem

The Anthem of the Armenian SSR is nothing short of glorious!
@NONSOV That's a fair way of putting it actually. The Proto Indo Europeans divided across Europe and the Middle East. Europeans got Latin and Germanic - which has now become languages like Italian, French, German and English. Eastern Europeans got Slavic, which is Russian etc. The Greeks got their own branch too, and so did the Persians/Indians.
In the language tree, Armenian is somewhere between Greeks and Persians.
Hope that helps.

Armenia was one of those countries that was formerly part of the Soviet Union. It declared sovereignty on August 23 1990. Armenia declared independence on September 21 1991. The country was renamed to the Republic Of Armenia.
the best soviet anthem
Aram Khatchaturian is awesome. (American here)
@TheArmo818 Historians previously believed that Armenian language was Indo-Iranian because of the many Iranian loanwords in the language.
However, of course, this is not the case. Some vocabulary is shared (azat means the same thing in Persian: 'free'). Other than that, the languages are not related much.
Underrated anthem.
Lenin used 500,000 Armenian soldiers in combat in EU, there are only a fewt-- 10,000-30,000 against the Turks

@spinda29 Armenians are directly descended from one of Noah's great-grandchildren, Hayk, whose family came down from the foothills of "Agri Dagi" (Mount Ararat). And it was from this Patriarch came the name (Hayastan) and the language (Hayastants'i). That's as close you can get to Proto-Indo-European tongue.
This is a bad translation: Soviet-Angakh Hayastan means "Free Soviet Armenia". the distinction is important, our grandparents's struggle was not in vain. Slava Armenia, slava Sovietsikh Armenia. Slava Rodina-Mat i Sovietskik Soyuz
If only the USSR still existed today!
