Anthem of Transnistria
The anthem of Transnistria, titled "We Sing the Praises of Transnistria",[1][lower-alpha 1] was written by Boris Parmenov, Nicholas Bozhko and Vitaly Pishenko, and composed by Boris Alexandrovich Alexandrov. The anthem has lyrics in all three official languages of Transnistria: Romanian, Russian and Ukrainian. They are, however, not all literal translations of one another. The origin of the anthem was from the Russian patriotic song Long Live our State (Да здравствует наша держава), a 1943 composition that was one of the proposed songs to be the anthem of the former Soviet Union. Boris Alexandrov's composition was, however, rejected in favor of the one submitted by his father, Alexander Alexandrov.[2]
