Background
The anthem was used 1947 to 1992. The music was composed by Mutal Burkhanov, and the words were written by Timur Fattah and Turab Tula. This anthem (like the anthems of the Tajik SSR and the Turkmen SSR) opens with a salute to the Russian people, while the Uzbeks themselves are not actually mentioned until the fourth line. The melody is used in the current national anthem of Uzbekistan, with different lyrics.

“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”

“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
