Russia : music and nationalism from Glinka to Stalin / Marina Frolova-Walker. - New Haven, Conn. ; London : Yale University Press, 2007. - 336 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

Challenging what is widely regarded as the distinguishing feature of Russian music - its ineffable 'Russianness' - the author examines the history of Russian music from the premiere of Glinka's opera 'A Life for the Tsar' in 1836 to the death of Stalin in 1953.
