"Death or Freedom"[a] was the national anthem of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, a former partially recognized separatist state in the North Caucasus, used between 1991 and 2000. The music was composed in 1991 by either Ali Dimayev or Umar Beksultanov, and the lyrics were written by Abuzar Aydamirov.[1]
The Dudayev-era anthem replaced "My Checheno-Ingushetia", the anthem of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Afterwards, "Death or Freedom" was officially replaced by the current Kadyrov-era State Anthem of the Chechen Republic.[1]
