Is there anyone who would disagree with my opinion that the greatest music of the 20th century was the music of Russia? Do you think that the fact that Russia was repressed and miserable during most of the period inspired the great musical art? Music reaches deepest into the emotions, and it is very hard to prove treason when one writes music, even if the Stalinists tried to do it. Pictorial art was another matter, and so Russian art suffered, although I think there has been a resurgence of pictorial art.
Russia has much to contribute to the world but first it must conquer Alcohol, and make it possible for women to have more influence.
Of course I include the Ukraine, which produced some of the greatest musicians of the time.
