Challenging the distinguishing feature of Russian music - its ineffable "Russianness" - this work examines the history of Russian music from the premiere of Glinka's opera "A Life for the Tsar" in 1836 to the death of Stalin in 1953, the years in which musical nationalism was encouraged by the Russian state and its Soviet successor.
