"Te slăvim, Românie" () was the national anthem of the Romanian People's Republic, and later Socialist Republic of Romania between 1953 and 1975. The lyrics were written by and Dan Deșliu, the music by Matei Socor. It mentions Romania's brotherhood with the Soviet Union and praises Leninist ideology. In the 1960s, in line with Romania's de-satellization, the reference to the "Soviet liberators" in the anthem was dropped. It was replaced by "E scris pe tricolor Unire" in 1975, which only lasted until 1977 as Romania's anthem.
