Bulgaria
"Balgarijo Mila"

Words by: Nikola Furnadshiev, Mladen Issaev and Elisaveta Bagrjana
Music by: Georgi Dimitrov, Georgi Zlatev-Tscherkin and Svetoslav Obretenov
In use: 1950-1964

After the Communist rule started in Bulgaria, they introduced the anthem "Balgarijo Mila". Interestingly, it was replaced in 1964, roughly 25 years before the end of the Communist regime.

(Between the abolition of the monarchy in 1944 and the establishment of this anthem in 1950 after the communists firmly gained power, the anthem in use was "Republiko nascha sdrawej", composed by Georgi Dimitrov (the same as the co-composer of "Balgarijo Mila", but not the same as the communist leader by that name of that period), but I have no information on this anthem as of yet.)

Special thanks to: Pavel Zinovatny for the music file and the Cyrillic lyrics.
