- This substantial monograph (304pp.) is the culmination of seven years research, including six months living and working in Russia to access (newly available) primary and secondary sources. It examines the role of music in shaping the cultural identity of the Soviet Union and counters hitherto accepted views of an unbending, unchanging state policy of repression, censorship, and dissonance; and identifies 1937 as the start of a cultural Cold War. A game-changing piece of research, it has won a prize from a major international Slavonic Studies organisation, which acknowledges its significance beyond musicology.
