SKU: A0.1582120

The National Anthem of Mongolia,[a] known before 1991 as the State Anthem of the Mongolian People's Republic,[b] was originally created in 1950 during the communist regime to replace the "Mongol Internationale". The music was composed by Bilegiin Damdinsüren and Lubhsanjambiin Mördorj, and the lyrics were written by Tsendiin Damdinsüren.

History:

Since the early 20th century, Mongolia has had two national anthems: the first, used between 1924 and 1950, was called the "Mongol Internationale", with lyrics by Sonombaljiriin Buyannemekh and music by Magsarjabhiin Dugarjabh.[5] It is often incorrectly listed as the Mongolian-language version of "The Internationale", despite the two songs having almost nothing in common aside from similar titles.[6][better source needed] "The Internationale" does have a Mongolian version, however, which should not be confused with the "Mongol Internationale".

The second anthem, by Damdinsüren and Mördorj, replaced the "Mongol Internationale" and has been in use since 1950. The lyrics were changed slightly in 1961 to include references to the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and remove references to various Soviet and Mongolian leaders; however, the original lyrics were restored in early 1991, a year prior to the end of the communist regime. Since 1991, most of the lyrics from 1950 have been in use again, but the second verse (praising Lenin, Stalin, Sükhbaatar and Choibalsan) has been removed. On 6 July 2006, the lyrics were revised by the Mongolian Parliament to commemorate Genghis Khan.

The current constitution of Mongolia mandates that the national anthem be broadcast daily on media channels prior to the end of transmissions.
