Ĭomposers worked on the score prior to the decision on the lyrics by February 1945, eleven composers were selected as finalists. A refrain was conceived to be played after each stanza, which was considered as a paean to the union of the Soviet peoples and the reunited Ukraine following the Soviet annexation of Eastern Galicia and Volhynia. On February 23, the Ukrainian chairman Mykhailo Hrechukha hosted a meeting by reading a synopsis of the anthem-to-be in front of musicians and litterateurs: The Ukrainian nation's union with the Soviets were envisaged for the first stanza the Ukrainian people, their struggles, and freedom under Lenin and Stalin were envisaged for the second stanza Ukraine's economic and political flourishing in the union were envisaged for the third stanza. Soviet authorities, after a period of struggle, successfully persuaded public intellectuals to create an anthem with lyrics fitting their political interests and music sterile of any Ukrainian national elements. A commission on the anthem was established on 23 February 1944 thus, the Anthem of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic was adopted. All other constituent Soviet republics were expected to produce their own anthems as well-all of which had to have lyrics lauding the communist Soviet regime and its leaders.
In 1942, after Joseph Stalin demanded that " The Internationale" be replaced with a new anthem, the State Anthem of the Soviet Union was officially adopted a couple years later. The authorities later decided that each separate Soviet republic could have its own anthem, and "Šče ne vmerla Ukrajina" was rejected because Soviet authorities wanted to suppress separatist sentiments held by Ukrainian Nationalists.
Following the signing of the treaty, the Ukrainian national anthem " Šče ne vmerla Ukrajina" was banned by the Soviet regime because of its nationalistic content. In 1922, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic signed the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR along with the Russian SFSR, Transcaucasian SFSR, and and the Byelorussian SSR, which created the constituent republic.
