In the early 20th century, this song lifted the spirits of many Ukrainians, as they had longed for their territories be completely independent from the Russian Empire, Austria–Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. Because of this, "Šče ne vmerla Ukraïna" became the national anthem of the country, which was then first known as Carpatho-Ukraine, which then became the Ukrainian People's Republic, and then the West Ukrainian People's Republic. Afterwards, the Soviets invaded the territory of Ukraine. Not only that, the Soviets banned the Ukrainian national anthem. Instead, the Soviet-era anthem was adopted. After decades of oppression by the Soviet Union, "Šče ne vmerla Ukraïna" became the national anthem again, and remains so to this day.
