      Besides, even if you aren't a communist. It doesn't take a lot to understand that the communist rule was undeniably a superior and much more progressive one than the Tsarist one for the working class population.

      USSR worked great under communism btw. The communist party brought a feudal country from nowhere to 10k USD per annum of per capita GNI in 1991.
      Sure it was more authoritarian than what we had hoped for but comeon. Russia after communism is less authoritarian now? And before communism was last authoritarian?
      And about China, what was it before communism? A damn monarchy.
      Considering all of this, communism has actually worked wonders for the third world and brought us out of colonialism.
      The economic problems my country faces and many such countries in the global south face have only been amplified after the fall of the USSR.
      Labour share of income used to be 75% in the country I am from in 1980, today it's dropped to 54%.
      This is directly the influence of the forced privatization that we had to do after the fall of the USSR under pressure of the IMF. Which continues to do this still around the world.
      The only fault with communism is that the Revolution started in a country like Russia instead of Germany, USA or France even though almost all ideological synthesis of socialism and communism has been purely Western European.
      That and the fact that the USSR dissolved in 1991 are the only two tragedies of communism.

    There's something behind this waltz that I can't really catch up, even tough I listen to it several times. The tension and distension dynamics, the crescendo and diminuendo throughout the whole piece... this set of contrasts build a mystical, suffocating and magnanimous atmosphere. It's somehow unexplainable the feelings that listening to this transmits.

    Khachaturian was one of the first composers I became acquainted with as a child--through his piano concerto, which my mother had on a 78 rpm record set.

      @@katrinyoung2073 Because he's a Soviet composer born in Russian Empire, not just Armenian. He spoke Russian and lived in Moscow since he turned 19. He learned and graduated in Moscow, he spent all his life and created his masterpieces in Russia (though buried in Erevan in Armenia). He's as much a Russian genius as an Armenian one. Same thing with the great Americans, they may be of African or Jewish or Anglo-Saxon or Indian origins, but we consider them a part of American culture.

      @@mithridates5399 I don't need to "whitewash" anything that is not dirty. Before you open your mouth and speak, try to find a brain in your head, turn it on and think over those numbers. In 1897, there were 800 000-1000000 Arnenians in Ottoman Empire. In 1915 Muslims killed many Armenians in the infamous massacre. In 1920 there were just 720 000 Armenians in Soviet Armenia. 1950: 1 347 200. 1965: 2 169 900. 1975: 2 799 700. 1991: 3 574 500. 2018: 3051000. No "conquered" and "oppressed" nation may triple its numbers. And after becoming independent in 1990 to this day, they lost about 500 000 to migration and other causes, that is a lot for a small 3-mln nation. So please think and analyza data before you speak nonsense again.

      ***** Inspiration doesn't make your nationality. By that logic, if I'm inspired by tongan music that means I'm tongan, and I'm not. As for what he says, unfortunately, he doesn't get to choose his nationality, he just can say what he wants. And I can almost guess he said something like: "My soul is armenian", or something similar. And I want to make a correction: he is not georgian, he is in fact russian, why? In 1903 the cubic metre in where he was born was part of a thing called Russian Empire. Not Georgia, or, even less, Armenia. And also, he's not soviet as well, because Soviet Union only formed in 1922. It's like the football player Eusébio, he's portuguese, not mozambican, because Mozambique was part of Portugal when he was born. My compliments
