"Anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan" is the former national anthem of Kazakhstan from 1991 to early 2006. Upon independence in December 1991, the melody of the Kazakh SSR anthem, composed by musicians Mūqan Tölebaev, Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Latif Hamidi, was retained; and new lyrics written by authors Mūzafar Älımbaev, Qadyr Myrza Älı, Tūmanbai Moldağaliev and Jadyra Därıbaeva were adopted in 1992. The lyrics were written by four people including poet Jadyra Därıbaeva, one of only a handful of women to have ever been involved in writing a national anthem.[1] On 7 January 2006, it was replaced by "Menıñ Qazaqstanym".[2]

A lot of people then said to me, 'Maybe your words are actually good, but you're not famous; you're a woman. Try joining up with others.' Zhadyra, showing admirable restraint, somehow didn't tell any of these people to shove their chauvinism somewhere unpleasant. Instead, she found some men willing to work with her - famous men at that - and the group spent the next three months sending letters back and forth, toiling to put all of Kazakhstan's history and its people's emotions into just three verses and a chorus.
