Exactly, but once again, if one can't read Russian one can't know that. I strongly suspect this is the case here.

It is clear from his many past posts, and the very nature of the links that he constantly provides, that he can read Russian to a significant degree. Definitely more than I can. I am merely familiar with Cyrillic alphabet but can easily make out the address / nature of the Sevastopol concert.

OTOH, the ignore list is always an option.

I think that the author of the latest posts not only understands the alphabet, but also the Russian language. I also think that many of the posts are inspired by Kremlin chauvinistic propaganda. For example, the recent mention of Kabardino-Balkaria. A small Islamic country in the Caucasus, whose population was deported almost entirely by Stalin and brought to the brink of extinction by Putin. Attributing Kabardino-Balkaria music to Russian/Soviet is insulting to say the least. The same with Tuva. Buddhist State of Turkich origin, annexed by USSR during WWII.

Wrong thread. Moldavians are not Russians but Romanians. The very text you linked to is written in Romanian.

I submit to moderation and respectfully point out that most of the works regard the period before 1992 when Moldova was part of the USSR and had not still been annexed to Romania so much so that on the previous page we talk about eduard lazarev,Khachaturian,Lidiya Auster

Your argument may be correct. Until the end of 1991 Moldavia was part of USSR. Unlike some other republics of the former USSR, Moldavia never fought for its independence, only took advantage of the collapse of the USSR. It became independent Moldova Republic after 1991. It was never annexed by Romania. However, the pro-Moscow part of Moldavia along the Dniester River also declared its own independence after the short war with central Moldovan government in the early 1990s.

I've been looking into Soviet composers, especially those who it would seem were very dedicated to the State, as I suspected that their music might be the most constrained, and any rhetorician worth their salt is immediately intrigued by constraint, and I have found, at least with those that I've listened to, that I was wrong.

For example, Khrennikov's Cello Concertos 1 & 2 were surprisingly melancholic. I was additionally surprised by the dissonance and the treatment of the orchestra as accoutrement rather than companion or partner. The opening lyrical melody of Cello Concerto 1, in particular, was lovely and memorable.

Importantly, I do not really listen to songs (lieder), as they just don't do it for me. I find individual singing voices irritating when they are only offset by a piano or other solo instrument.

Tikhon Khrennikov was very popular in the Soviet Union. Or, more accurately, he was actively promoted by state media. Which makes sense, given the role assigned to him in the Party hierarchy. At the same time, he undoubtedly had a gift for melody. His songs, featured in Soviet films, were simple and memorable. It seems he even appeared in minor roles in some films, portraying either a sailor or a soldier.
