  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.
