The State Anthem of the Armenian SSR was the national anthem of Armenia when it was a republic of the Soviet Union and known as the Armenian SSR.
Background
The anthem was used from 1944 to 1991. It was composed by Aram Khachaturian, a world-famous Armenian composer, who was known for his concerti and ballets, "Spartacus" and "Gayane," the latter including the ever-popular "Sabre Dance". Armenak Sarkisyan, who went under the pseudonym "Sarmen", wrote the lyrics. Upon independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia adopted the anthem "Mer Hayrenik" ("Our Fatherland") in its place.
