Vstavay, Donbass!

Vstavay, Donbass! is the anthem of the self-declared People's Republic of Donetsk, one of the two constituent republics of the Union of People's Republics, a rebel state in eastern Ukraine. It was written by a pro-Russian band, Den' Triffinov, and subsequently adopted by the People's Rada of the Donetsk People's Republic in 2014.^[1] It is not recognized as an anthem by the Ukrainian central government. Unlike the anthem of the federal Union of People's Republics, it lacks a Ukrainian version. The government of the Donetsk People's republic has not offered any insight into the reason.

The first anthem was replaced by a new tune that debuted in 2015 and is the one currently in use in the DPR.
