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. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zSoviet Union$xMusic and the war 606 $aMusic$xPolitical aspects$zSoviet Union 610 $aRussian Song. 610 $aSoviet Song. 610 $aSoviet arts administration. 610 $aSoviet music. 610 $aWWII. 610 $amusic and war. 610 $aperformance brigades. 610 $apopular view of music. 610 $asong composers. 610 $awarsongs. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xMusic and the war. 615 0$aMusic$xPolitical aspects 676 $a782.420947/09044 700 $aAment$b Suzanne, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01507379 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793304503321 996 $aSing to Victory$93738023 997 $aUNINA
