Lyrics by Suleyman Rüstəm, Səməd Vurğun and Hüseyn Arif

Azərbaycan! Çiçəklənən respublika, şanlı diyar!
Qadir sovet ellərində həm azadsan, həm bəxtiyar.
Oktyabrdan qüvvət alıb sən qovuşdun səadətə,
Alqış olsun bu hünərə, alqış olsun bu qüdrətə!

Yolumuz Lenin yoludur, partiyadır rəhbərimiz,
Kommunizmin günəşilə nurlanacaq səhərimiz.
Biz gedirik gələcəyə qaliblərin cərgəsində,
Yaşa, yaşa, Azərbaycan, böyük sovet ölkəsində!

Odlar yurdul Bu ağ günlər el gücünün bəhrəsidir,
Qahrəmanlıq, bir də hünər azad insan həvəsidir.
Nasillərdən-nəsillərə yadigardır dəyanətin,
Kommunizmə biz gedirik, sıra möhkəm, addım mətin.

Yolumuz Lenin yoludur, partiyadır rəhbərimiz,
Kommunizmin günəşilə nurlanacaq səhərimiz.
Biz gedirik gələcəyə qaliblərin cərgəsində,
Yaşa, yaşa, Azərbaycan, böyük sovet ölkəsində!

Rəşadətli rus xalqıdır dostluq, birlik bayraqdarı,
Müqəddəsdir, sarsılmasdır dost ellərin bu ilqarı.
Qardaş xalqlar birliyindən aldıq gücü, qüdrəti biz,
Qoy var olsun bu ittifaq - şanlı Sovet Vətənimiz!

Yolumuz Lenin yoludur, partiyadır rəhbərimiz,
Kommunizmin günəşilə nurlanacaq səhərimiz.
Biz gedirik gələcəyə qaliblərin cərgəsində,
Yaşa, yaşa, Azərbaycan, böyük sovet ölkəsində!

Азаттыкты кыргыз эңсеп турганда,
Ала-Тоого Октябрдын таңы аткан.
Улуу орус достук менен кол берип,
Ленин бизге бак-таалайга жол ачкан.

Жаша, Кыргызстаным,
Ленин туусу колуңда.
Алгалай бер, гүлдөй бер,
Коммунизм жолунда!

Эмгек, эрдик, күрөштөрдө такшалтып,
Таалай берген улуу совет калкына.
Жеңиштерден жеңиштерге алпарат,
Элдин күчү – Лениндик партия.

Жаша, Кыргызстаным,
Ленин туусу колуңда.

Эл достугун болоттон бек ширетип,
Көп улуттан Союз курдук урагыс.
Жандай сүйүп даңктуу Ата Мекенди,
Түбөлүкке коммунизм курабыз.

Жаша, Кыргызстаным,
Ленин туусу колуңда.
Алгалай бер, гүлдөй бер,

[kokturk]

Why do they praise the Russians? AFAIK, in comunism, there is no national entity and Russian is same as O'zbek or Azeri.

This the hypocrisy of the Soviets and Russians.

[BAWIR$AQ]

kokturk said:

Why do they praise the Russians?

Unfortunately, Russians were the main, the most important, and the only praised ethnic group in the Soviet Union.

Soviet Union started as a real international communism during Lenin, who gave all the ethnic groups reasonably equal rights and their own national republics.

But after Stalin, USSR turned more into the red version of an old Russian Empire.

so what about Cossacks?

[BAWIR$AQ]

Cossacks (kazachetso) are as much an "ethnic group" as the peasants (krestianstvo), the merchants (kupchestvo), the petty bourgeoisie (meshanstvo), or the nobility (dvoryanstvo).

[Temüjin]

according to Communist ideology maybe...

[BAWIR$AQ]

According to traditional Russian estate system.

[Temüjin]

but they see themselves as ethnic group, since 1920 at least...and the earliest Zaporozhian Cossacks have absolutely nothing to do with Russians at all.

[BAWIR$AQ]

Zaporozhian Cossacks have nothing to do with the Russians because they are part of Ukrainians, their dialect is Ukrainian.

Cossacks were one of the main forces behind the pro-tsarist counter-revolution during the Russian Civil War. No wonder they felt different during and after the Civil war. Their antagonism towards communists, their hurt pride, and the claims to return their estate lands and priveleges all arise from that period.

Military-spirited Cossacks may have "have absolutely nothing to do" with the almost slave-like Russian peasants, but in general they were no different from many other people of mixed origin who all served the tsar and called themselves 'Russians'.

Most of the modern Cossack claims are aimed at the recognition of the pre-communist estate priveleges, but not a separate ethnic group. What kind of ethnic group has a "traditional costume" which is a tsarist military uniform with Caucasian and Asian papakha and gazyri?

If somebody will ever recognize Cossacks as a separate ethnic group, they should do the same with the French Foreign Legion! ;D

Agreed.. Cossacks were peasants who resisted the opression of Tsars ad did not pay taxes

bawirsaq said:

but foreign Legion is different, besides, Cossacks today are recognized as official minority. Foreign Legion is not a good comparison. Cossacks are not made by joining the military, Cossacks are made by being born from a Cossack. only up until 1700 or so did runaways and adventurers joined the Cossacks. also Cossacks have their own religion, own traditiosn and slightly different langauge, and they have a different lifestyle than Rusisans, a Steppe lifestyle. tell me what is the difference between a Croat, Bosnian and a Serb, the only thing that separates them is their religion and both nationalist Serbs and Croats claim Bosnians are in fact Serbs/Croats that have just a differetn religion but from Bosnian point of view, Bosnians are genuine Bosnians and not Serbs/Croats with just a different religion... Cossacks always felt distinct from other Russians on which they looked down, you should see the old movie Quiet Flows teh Don, it has a very nice scene about this topic.

a german merchant enters the market and there is a quarrel between Ukrainian traders and the Cossacks. the merchants asks a Cossack what the fuss is about. the Cossack answers: "the Ukrainianns insulted us Cossacks!!"
the merchant says: "so? why struggle, Ukrainians and Cossacks are part of the Greater Russian race"
the Cossacks says: "no, we are freeborn Cossacks"
the merchant continues: "but Cossacks are just Russians who fled from their homelands to escape slavery, Cossacks descend from Russians"
whereupon the Cossack replies: "and I say, Cossacks descend of Cossacks!"

and this was even before the Revolution

besides, foreginers join the Foreign Legion to become citizens of France, while Russians fled to the Cossacks to escape Russian authority, so it is exactly the opposite! ;D

[Temüjin]

thediplomat said:

Agreed.. Cossacks were peasants who resisted the opression of Tsars ad did not pay taxes

from around 1800 onwards, the Cossacks had their own nobility. one of the reasons why poorer Cossacks like Budenny joined the Red Cause was becauset ehy had almost no chance to raise in the ranks and because the gap between "simple" Cossacks and the Cossack aristocracy was too big and it was against the idea of Cossackdom. just because they were part of the Imperial Russian system dosn't mean they were not a distinct ethnicity.

[nisse]

where did you get these anthems .... please tell me

[nisse]

they are praising the russians in the turkmen athenm too

[BAWIR$AQ]

temujin said:

but foreign Legion is different

Basically the same thing.

A bunch of kinless peoples with various ethnic origins (predominantly Slavic, but with many Turkic and Caucasian admixtures) united to serve, protect, and conquer in the name of the empire.

Cossacks had some early history of independence when they were border bandits, but they soon came under the tsarist control and service.

besides, Cossacks today are recognized as official minority

What kind of "minority" are you talking about?

Cossacks were never recognized as an ethnic minority.

Russian Federation is making some attempts to restore the institution of Cossackdom as a law enforcement and military units and as a measure to bolster the sense of Russian imperialism.

Cossacks are not made by joining the military

False. In the Russian empire, there was a long-enduring practice of acceptance into Cossacks.

Many complete foreigners from Caucasus, the Kalmyks, Bashkirs were accepted and formed into the Cossack units.

Cossacks are made by being born from a Cossack

That happened to those who were already admitted into Cossacks. That doesn't make them an ethnic group.

It's a characteristic of the Russian social estate system.

Other social groups like serfs, merchants, or nobility were all hereditary.

only up until 1700 or so did runaways and adventurers joined the Cossacks

Kalmyk and Bashkir troops joined Cossacks mostly in the 18 century and later.

also Cossacks have their own religion

Are you kidding? Cossacks were Russian Orthodox like the rest of the Russians.

own traditiosn and slightly different langauge

Are you trying to say that all Cossacks from the Zaporozheie to Amur had the same "different langauge"?

Some local Cossack dialect in Don or Cuban is no "different langauge" than some Ryazanian or Siberian dialect is different from the Muscovite.

They're all Russian.

they have a different lifestyle than Rusisans, a Steppe lifestyle

Muscovite lifestyle was different from the serfdom lifestyle in Voronezh, posh European-style Petersburg life was different from Siberian peasantry life. No wonder a military estate had a different lifestyle.

tell me what is the difference between a Croat, Bosnian and a Serb

Here's the difference:
Croats and Bosnians didn't live a life of eternal hereditary military service to the Serbian king, or the other way around.

the only thing that separates them is their religion

Religion didn't separate Cossacks from the rest of the Russians.

Cossacks always felt distinct from other Russians on which they looked down

No wonder. Social estates tend to look down on one another.

Nobility looked down on military and peasants, military looked down on peasants and nobility, workers and peasants despised nobility and military, and so on.

So what? They still call themselves Russians, speak the Russian language, and follow the Russian church.

foreginers join the Foreign Legion to become citizens of France, while Russians fled to the Cossacks to escape Russian authority, so it is exactly the opposite! ;D

As I said above, the independent history of Cossacks is relatively short and unknown.

It's not their border bandit-like lifestyle that brought them their glory and fame, but the service to the imperial Russia.

Both Russian Cossacks and French Legionaries were members of strictly military institutions, except that Cossacks were also a rigid social estate with their own lands (which were conquered and given by the government) and a social tradition of heredity.
