Aspects of Blasphemy in Soviet Music
Abstract
The article analyzes an actual, but still insufficiently developed in modern music-historical studies topic. The atheistic worldview determined the ideological attitudes of Soviet society for more than one decade, but it was not significantly reflected in the art of that time. In musical works, this issue was rare. But a number of composers did focus their attention on atheistic "subjects".
