The author believes that the history of the Great Patriotic War and the civil consolidation of the multinational Soviet society is an important part of the historical memory of the peoples of the former USSR and serves as an example of their heroic cooperation in the fight against the common enemy — fascism and Nazism. The article highlights the main events related to the creation of the USSR national anthem in 1943. The data on the participation of representatives of different Union republics in the creation of the anthem text, as well as on translators of texts by Kazakhstan authors, are presented. For the first time, the texts of prominent Kazakh-stan’s poets and writers H. Zhumaliev, A. Tazhibayev and A. Tokmagambetov, which were submitted to the All-Union competition, were being published. It was found that the refrain of almost all the texts submitted to the special Commission was the social unity and ethno-cultural solidarity of the citizens of the USSR, while the images included in the text of the anthems reflected the basic meanings and values embedded in the tradi-tional values of the peoples of the USSR and the principles of formation of public consciousness and consoli-dating foundations of culture transmitted by the state. The conclusion is made about the active and positive role of the Kazakh artistic intelligentsia in the solidarity work of the elite of the literary and musical commu-nities of the Soviet Union, aimed at forming and strengthening the unity of a multinational society, increasing the prestige of the culture of the Kazakh SSR. The meaning, semantic load and context of the creation of texts for the All-Union anthem in the conditions of the Great Patriotic War are shown.
