“Usual cold war anti-communist American slant poisons the memory of the incredible heroism and patriotism of Shostakovich, Leningraders and the Soviet peoples.
If you ever get to Petersburg forget the Faberge eggs and go out to the incredibly moving Piskarevsoe Memorial cemetery where 2 million

The episodes overemphasis on the evils of Stalin belittles the incredible patriotism and heroism of the composer and his nation.”
