”Moldova Sovietică” (Moldovan Cyrillic: Молдова Советикэ, lit.'Soviet Moldavia') was the regional anthem of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, a constituent republic of the Soviet Union.[1]

Originally, the anthem began with the words, "Moldova cu doine străbune pe plaiuri"[2] and was composed by Ștefan Neaga, with lyrics by the poets Emilian Bukov and Bogdan Istru (Ivan Bodarev) in 1945.

Ivan Bodiul, the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Moldavia, authorized composer Eduard Lazarev to modify the anthem in a "Musical Renovation". (Second Edition of the Anthem).[3]

The lyrics were rewritten, removing all references to Joseph Stalin. The music was also altered, removing the original three-stanza structure in favor of a single-stanza three-part structure.[1]

The beginning words of the anthem were changed to "Moldova Sovietică".
