History of the National Anthem of Ukraine

The Ukrainian national anthem can be traced back to one of the parties of the Ukrainian ethnographer and poet Pavlo Chubynsky that occurred during the autumn of 1862.

This poem gained a wide popularity among the Ukrainian intelligentsia.

It is likely that the Polish national song "Poland Is Not Yet Lost" ("Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła"), which dates back to 1797, also had an influence on Chubynsky's lyrics.

"Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła" was popular among the nations of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth that were at that time fighting for their independence; the January Uprising started a few months after Chubynsky wrote his lyrics.
