The State Anthem of the Luhansk People's Republic is the regional anthem of the Luhansk People's Republic, a republic of Russia. It was previously the national anthem of the LPR from 2016 until 2022 when it initially operated as a breakaway state until it was annexed by Russia in 2022. Its lyrics were written by Vladimir Mikhailov, and the music was composed by Grigory Galin.

History

In July 2015 work on the selection for the National Anthem of the Luhansk People's Republic began. The Ministry of Culture and the People's Council held a competition. A total of 64 proposals were submitted for the competition for consideration by the jury. The competition was held in three stages. People submitted complete works with words and melody, and individual components. The works were evaluated by important cultural figures of the LPR, as well as deputies of the People's Council Denis Miroshnichenko, Dmitry Sidorov, and Maxim Dersky.

A previous anthem was adopted in 2014, and is alternatively known as "Луганской Народной Республике - Слава!" (To the Lugansk People's Republic - Glory!) after the first line of its chorus.

The names Vladimir Mikhailov, and Georgy Galin were the pseudonyms of Vladimir Zaitsev and Yuri Dersky, who were co-chairmen for the jury of the competition.

At the plenary session of the People's Council on April 29, 2016, the Head of the Luhansk People's Republic, Igor Plotnitsky, approved the official anthem of the LPR.

Dmitry Sidorov said "Finally, we have our own anthem. This is the component that was missing. Now we have all the state symbols in full. This is the next step towards ensuring that the Luhansk People's Republic is a truly international subject of law".
