The Macedonian (non-Greek Macedonia) anthem 'Today over Macedonia' mentions four 20th century revolutionaries. I understand that some USSR anthems (e.g. Soviet Ukrainian) mentioned Lenin. Would you know any other anthems in which historical personalities are mentioned by name?

…and Stefan Czarniecki.

Original version also mentioned Tadeusz Kościuszko in the last verse, but this version isn't official.
