  • Elena Zinkevych the Ukrainian Symphony - Phantom Or Reality?
    Elena Zinkevych The Ukrainian Symphony - Phantom or Reality? During the 20th century the phenomenon of an autonomous Ukrai- nian symphony was not recognized widely. Paradoxically it was also not taken into consideration by the researchers of the symphonic process in the USSR. Thus in Mark Aranovskyi's book "The Sym- phonic Searches"1 not one name of a Ukrainian symphonist is mentioned and the reader is led to the conclusion that it lacks sym- phonists in the Ukraine. Completely neglected were the Ukrainian symphony's historic, social and immanently musical contexts. Possible explanations for such a situation could be: 1. The late birth of the genre: The first valuable Ukrainian sympho- nies were written by Levko Revutsky (1916-1918) and Boris Lyatoshinsky (1918-1920). 2. Its existence within a system called "the Soviet music". Firstly the system was closed and eliminated any interchange with the outer musical world, secondly it was fettered by the dogmas of socialist realism. Both of these interconnected factors (the artificial hermetization and the implantation of "the regime creativity") slowed down the forma- tion of an Ukrainian symphony. In principle all national schools of the former USSR were subdued to the influence of the mentioned factors, but in each different case the general directions were cor- rected by the local conditions. Especially in the Ukraine all the de- crees issued from the Centre were particularly exaggerated. The fo1- lowing proverb expresses this tendency: When in Moscow one cuts off nails, in Kiev one chops off fingers. All actions inspired by the Centre were accomplished by the Ukrainian communist party management with a particular zeal to demonstrate its loyalty.

Porous Empire: Foreign Visitors And The Post-Stalin Soviet State Abstract “Porous Empire” is a study of the relationship between Soviet institutions, Soviet society and the millions of foreigners who visited the USSR between the mid-1950s and the mid-1980s. “Porous Empire” traces how Soviet economic, propaganda, and state security institutions, all shaped during the isolationist Stalin period, struggled to accommodate their practices to millions of visitors with material expectations and assumed legal rights radically unlike those of Soviet citizens. While much recent Soviet historiography focuses on the ways in which the post-Stalin opening to the outside world led to the erosion of official Soviet ideology, I argue that ideological attitudes inherited from the Stalin era structured institutional responses to a growing foreign presence in Soviet life. Therefore, while Soviet institutions had to accommodate their economic practices to the growing numbers of tourists and other visitors inside the Soviet borders and were forced to concede the existence of contact zones between foreigners and Soviet citizens that loosened some of the absolute sovereignty claims of the Soviet party-statem, they remained loyal to visions of Soviet economic independence, committed to fighting the cultural Cold War, and profoundly suspicious of the outside world.
