"God Save the Tsar!" (Russian: Боже, Царя храни!, IPA: [ˈboʐɨ tsɐˈrʲa xrɐˈnʲi]) was the national anthem of the Russian Empire. The song was chosen from a competition held in 1833 and was first performed on 18 December 1833. It was composed by violinist Alexei Lvov, with lyrics written by the court poet Vasily Zhukovsky.
The lyrics were written by Vasily Zhukovsky, and the music of the British anthem "God Save the King" was used. In 1833, "The Prayer of Russians" was replaced with " God Save the Tsar ". The two songs both have identical incipits : «Боже, царя храни».
