National Anthem: Ukraine - Ще не вмерли України ні Слава ні Воля

Shche ne vmerly Ukrainy ni slava ni volya (Ukrainian: Ще не вмерли України ні слава ні воля The glory and the freedom of Ukraine has not yet died) is the national anthem of Ukraine. The anthem’s music was officially adopted by Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada on January 15, 1992. The official lyrics were adopted on March 6, 2003 by the Law on the Anthem of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Закон про Гімн України). The song was the national anthem of the Ukrainian Republic, West Ukraine, and Carpatho-Ukraine, and was once again adopted by independent Ukraine following its secession from the Soviet Union. Before its re-adaptation a competition for a national anthem among three patriotic songs took place with one of the other songs being “For Ukraine“ (Za Ukrainu) by Mykola Voronyi.
