ABSTRACT

Authoritarian societies that follow certain rules in the religious, cultural, and political realms tend to be little tolerant of other views and practices. There is a very revealing research niche for the study of “otherness” in the regulated fields of human activity. Yet, a niche within a niche is a study of historical or, in any case, former practices that come back to life after a gap of many decades. This is the case with church music of the last decade of Soviet history that has returned to artistic practice after a sixty-year ban. The article examines the socio-cultural circumstances that accompanied the creation of a number of works in various church genres written by professional Soviet composers, supported by a brief description of these works. Information about atheistic ideology, cultural doctrine, music management, and church life in the USSR completes the range of topics discussed.
