Hymn of the Bolshevik Party

The Hymn of the Bolshevik Party (Гимн па́ртии большевико́в) is a song composed by Alexander Alexandrov. Its lyrics are written by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach. The opening bars of the song is sampled from Life Has Become Better (Жить ста́ло лу́чше), one of Alexandrov's previous pieces. From the 1930s to the 1950s, this served as the unofficial anthem of the Bolshevik Party. In 2016, Communists of Russia, a Russian communist party, declared that this piece is their party anthem.

The same melody for the hymn with some minor alterations is used for the State Anthem of the Soviet Union and the State Anthem of the Russian Federation.
