National anthem of  Ukraine | |
| Lyrics | Pavlo Chubynsky, 1862 |
| Music | Mykhailo Verbytsky, 1863 |
| Adopted | 15 January 1992 (music) 6 March 2003 (lyrics) |
| Audio sample | |
"Shche ne vmerla Ukraina" (Template:Lang-uk, or "Ukraine Has Not Yet Died") is the national anthem of Ukraine
(Audio file "Anthem of Ukraine instrumental.ogg" not found). The song was first the national anthem of the Ukrainian Republic, West Ukraine, Carpatho-Ukraine, and once again adopted by independent Ukraine following its secession from the Soviet Union. Before its re-adaptation a competition for a national anthem among three patriotic songs took place with one of the other songs being Za Ukrainu by Mykola Voronyi.
The lyrics constitute a slightly modified original first stanza of the patriotic poem written in 1862 by Pavlo Chubynsky, a prominent ethnographer from the region of Ukraine's capital, Kiev, and were influenced by the words and themes of Poland's national anthem, Poland Is Not Yet Lost. In 1863, Mykhailo Verbytsky, a western Ukrainian composer and a Greek-Catholic priest composed music to accompany Chubynsky's text. The first choral performance of the piece was at the Ukraine Theatre in Lviv, in 1864.
Ukrainian People's Republic
In 1917, Shche ne vmerla Ukraina (Ukraine Has Not Yet Died) became the anthem of the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic. However, in 1920, it was banned by the incoming Soviet regime.

The lyrics to Ukraine's national anthem are somewhat similar to the anthems of the SFR Yugoslavia/Yugoslavia, Poland, and Israel.

Independent Ukraine
Shche ne vmerla Ukraina was sung as the de facto national anthem at the inauguration of the first President Leonid Kravchuk on December 5, 1991.
Article 20 of the Constitution of Ukraine (June 28, 1996) designates Verbytsky's music as the theme of the national anthem:
The State Anthem of Ukraine is the national anthem set to the music of M. Verbytskyi, with words that are confirmed by the law adopted by no less than two-thirds of the constitutional composition of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Current lyrics
On March 6, 2003, the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) of Ukraine adopted the following lyrics, opting to use only the first verse and chorus from the original anthem, while slightly modifying the first stanza of Chubynsky's original words. Instead of stating "Ukraine has not yet died, neither her glory, nor her freedom", the concept of Ukraine perishing as a nation has been removed: the opening line now states "Ukraine's glory has not yet died, nor her freedom". The title thus changed from Shche ne vmerla Ukraina to Sche ne vmerla Ukrainy.
