The State Anthem of Kabardino-Balkaria [a] was composed by Khasan Kardanov in 1992. [1]
Khasan Kardanov won a competition to select the music of the anthem of Kabardino-Balkaria with a composition based on the intonations and colours of Kabardian, Balkar and Russian folk songs. A commission was then established to select lyrics for the anthem.
In 2000, the Parliament of Kabardino-Balkaria announced the completion of its work and promised to approve lyrics by the end of the year; however, no lyrics were ever officially approved, despite contributions by poets Zuber Tkhagazitov (Kabardian); Magomet Mokaev , Salih Gurtuevru and Akhmat Sozaev (Balkar); Georgy Yaropolsky (Russian); lawyer Igor Tsavkilov (Russian); editor-in-chief of Nur magazine Boris Gedgafov (Russian and Kabardian); and editor of the Elbrus publishing house Anatoly Bitsuev and songwriter Pyotr Kazharov (Russian).
