This well researched, multi-faceted book depicts the relationship between song and society during World War II in the USSR. Chapter topics range from the creation and distribution of the songs to how the public received and shaped them. The body of song that came out of that era created a true cultural legacy which reflected both the hearts of the individuals fighting as well as the narrative of the party and state in bringing the nation to victory.World War, 1939-1945Soviet UnionMusic and the warMusicPolitical aspectsSoviet UnionRussian Song.Soviet Song.Soviet arts administration.Soviet music.WWII.music and war.performance brigades.popular view of music.song composers.warsongs.World War, 1939-1945Music and the war.MusicPolitical aspects782.420947/09044Ament Suzanne, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1507379DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793304503321Sing to Victory3738023UNINA
