The Hymn of the Bolshevik Party (Russian: Гимн па́ртии большевико́в, tr. Gimn pártii bolshevikóv) is a song composed by Alexander Alexandrov. Its lyrics are written by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach. The opening bars of the song is sampled from Life Has Become Better (Russian: Жить ста́ло лу́чше, tr. Zhit stálo lúchshe), one of Alexandrov's previous pieces. From the 1930s to the 1950s, this served as the unofficial anthem of the Bolshevik Party. In 2016, Communists of Russia, a Russian communist party, declared that this piece is their party anthem.
