The Hymn of the Bolshevik Party (Russian: Гимн па́ртии большевико́в, romanized: 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, romanized: Zhit stálo lúchshe), one of Alexandrov's previous pieces.
