The State Anthem of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic was used from 1946 to 1996. Lyrics were removed in 1991 as a result of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the gaining of independence of Turkmenistan.[1] The current State Anthem of Turkmenistan later replaced the Turkmen SSR anthem in 1996.
