metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article returns to the topic of Shostakovich’s political views, and specifically, his response
  to the revolutions of 1917. It argues that the view of Shostakovich as certainly neutral if not
  positively dissident is coloured by the assumptions of the post-Stalin era and the views current
  at the time of what constituted principled behaviour. If we return to primary documents (e. g.
  Shostakovich’s autobiographical questionnaire or his correspondence), the standpoint is
  much more elusive, and also heavily nuanced by genre and addressee. The main purpose of
  the article, however, is to look in detail at what it meant for Shostakovich to experience the
  revolutions at an extremely young age (only 9). Context for this is provided in an important
  collection of children’s autobiographies collected by the émigré charitable association, Zemgor,
  in 1923–1924. These texts, written in an atmosphere that did not require the expression of
  revolutionary solidarity (as comparable Soviet autobiographies did), and which was even
  positively hostile to this, nevertheless often record the euphoria as well as terror that the
  events of 1917 inspired. A further frame for Shostakovich’s later personal development was his
  exposure to a contradictory and conflicted educational process. The schooling that he received
  at the Shidlovskaya College, a Montessori-inspired free school, stood in radical contrast to the
  harsh discipline and regimentation of his education at the Conservatoire, a conflict that also
  helps to explain some of the cognitive dissonance of his later years.
