The Anthem of Free Russia,[a] sometimes known by its incipit "Long Live Russia",[b] was a proposed anthem of the Russian Republic after the February Revolution. The music was composed by Russian composer Alexander Gretchaninov and the lyrics were written by Constantine Balmont. However, unlike the "Worker's Marseillaise", the Hymn of Free Russia was not adopted by the Russian Provisional Government of 1917 nor was approved during several special meetings of artists.[1][2]
