The State Anthem of the Georgian SSR was the regional anthem of Georgia between 1946 and 1990 when it was part of the Soviet Union.
Background
The music was composed by Otar Taktakishvili, and the words were written by Grigol Abashidze and Alexander Abasheli. All three stanzas (not including the refrain) in the original lyrics have references to Joseph Stalin, a native Georgian and leader of the Soviet Union at that time. These words were completely removed after Stalin's death as part of Nikita Khrushchev's de-Stalinization program. It is then replaced with new lyrics with no reference to Stalin. The last line of the refrain on the original version (აყვავდი, ტურფა ქვეყანავ - ილხინე, ქართველთ მხარეო), which once existed on all refrains, was removed completely and replaced with new lyrics.
It is one of three Soviet republic national anthems that does not mention the Russian people, the others being the anthems of the Estonian SSR and the Karelo-Finnish SSR. With the latter integrated into the autonomous within Russian SFSR in 1950s, it and Estonia are the only Soviet republics didn't mention them in anthem.
Lyrics
The original version was used between 1946 and 1956, and the post-Stalinist version was used from 1956 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991.
