Main Article Content
Abstract
The article focuses on one of the myths of the Soviet era: the creation of national operas and ballets in the 1930s and 1940s, which were composed in the republics as a result of the composerʼs assistance provided by Moscow and Leningrad masters. An example of such a work was the first Bashkir national ballet “Crane Songˮ, created in co-authorship with the Moscow master L. Stepanov and the beginning Bashkir composer Z. Ismagilov. The article is a documented study based on archival materials from the collections of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RSALA) and the Central State Historical Archive of the Republic of Bashkortostan (CSHA RB). Questions of the history of ballet creation, its discussion and evaluation are touched upon. The article does not pretend to be revealing sensationalism, its purpose is to dot the iʼs and cross the tʼs and finally to understand the authorship of the work that, up to this day, is successfully performed on the theater stage in the status of the first national Bashkir ballet.
Keywords: Soviet era, cultural policy, Union of Composers, L. Stepanov, Z. Ismagilov, decade, ballet “Crane Songˮ, archival materials.
