History
Khasan Kardanov won a competition to select the music of the anthem of Kabardino-Balkaria with a composition based on the intonations and colours of Kabardian, Balkar and Russian folk songs. A commission was then established to select lyrics for the anthem. In 2000, the Kabardino-Balkaria parliament announced the completion of its work and promised to approve lyrics by the end of the year, however no lyrics were ever officially approved, despite contributions by poets Zuber Tkhagazitov (Kabardian); Magomet Mokaev, Salih Gurtuevru and Akhmat Sozaev (Balkar); Georgy Yaropolsky (Russian); lawyer Igor Tsavkilov (Russian); editor-in-chief of Nur magazine Boris Gedgafov (Russian and Kabardian); and editor of the Elbrus publishing house Anatoly Bitsuev and songwriter Pyotr Kazharov (Russian).[1]
