Similarities in National Anthems

Image
 I recognize that! It is known that some countries use or have used, in the past, the same melody (even the same lyrics) of the national anthem of other country as their own. Even today there are some territories that use exactly the same national anthem of other country. For example, both France and French Guiana use "La Marseillaise" as their national anthem. This is seen specially with non-independent territories. In other cases, one country just borrows the music of the other, just like Liechtenstein with “Oben am Jungen Rhein” which uses the melody of “God Save the Queen” from England. However, in some cases, we can see that certain national anthems are different, but somehow similar in some notes or lyrics.  SURINAME & SOUTH AFRICA The old national anthem of South Africa (Die Stem van Suid Afrika) shares similar notes with the national anthem of Suriname, which is older than the South African one.

The Truth about the Karelo-Finnish SSR Anthem

My Karelian-Finnish Land... If we speak about the different anthems that were composed in the Soviet Union, we usually remember the Soviet National Anthem, the Ukrainian SSR Anthem, the Byelorussian SSR Anthem, or even the Moldovan SSR Anthem (due to its popularity in recent times). Many recordings of those State Anthems have been posted in YouTube, and we have a full collection of versions from the State Anthems of the Soviet Republics all the way from the Baltic States to Central Asia. However, one mysterious composition remains as unknown territory for people of the “Anthem Community”. The State Anthem of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic has been forgotten in time, and this is its history. The Karelo-Finnish Soviet Republic was founded in 1940 and it was located in the north-western part of the Soviet Union. The foundation of this Union Republic is the result of many years of conflicts, influences, and geopolitical strategies from the Soviet Government due to the key p...
