The Anthem of Kamchatka Krai, a federal subject in the Russian Far East, is one of the state symbols of Kamchatka Krai (formerly Kamchatka Oblast), along with its flag and emblem. The lyrics of the anthem were written by poet Boris Dubrovin—a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, and the accompanying music was composed by conductor Eugene Ivan Morozov, who led the Kamchatka Choir Capella.[1][2][3] The anthem was approved by the Constitution on 1 July 2010, the anniversary of the creation of Kamchatka Krai three years earlier.[4]

Russian original[]
Величава, сурова Камчатка,
Край сокровищ земных необъятный.
Сквозь рассветный туман
Вновь курится вулкан
И зовёт рыбаков океан.
Припев:
Камчатка — судьба ты моя,
Навеки родные края.
Любовь ты и гордость моя,
Великой России земля.
В жизни стоит любого богатства
Наше дружное, крепкое братство.
Мы надеждой живём,
Ты, Камчатка, — наш дом,
Как святыню тебя бережём.
Припев
День России берёт здесь начало,
На Камчатке, у наших причалов.
Нет надёжней щита,
Чем границы черта,
Здесь России форпост — навсегда.
