The National Anthem of the Republic of South Ossetia[note 1] (Ossetian: Республикӕ Хуссар Ирыстоны Паддзахадон гимн, romanized: Rêšpublika Xuššâr Ireštone Pâddzâxâdon Gimn [resˈpublikɐ ˈχuʂ̟ːar irɘʂ̟ˈtonɘ ˈpad(d͡)zaχadon gimn]), also known as Beloved Ossetia! (Ossetian: Уарзон Ирыстон!, pronounced [ˈwarʐ̟on irɘʂ̟ˈton]), was adopted on 5 May 1995. The lyrics were written by Totraz Kokaev,[1] and the music was composed by Felix Alborov.[2][3] It was composed before South Ossetia's de facto independence from Georgia, while both were still part of the Soviet Union.[4]

The anthem is played at state functions, as well as South Ossetia politicians' meetings with foreign leaders[5][6] and at the beginning and end of the school week.[7]
