But the curious thing: in the references to the musicians can read that Sviatoslav Richter and David Oistrakh is now the number of Ukrainian pianist and violinist, in a time when the same references, Vladimir Horowitz and Jascha Heifetz are defined as an American pianist and violinist of Ukrainian origin, and my beloved friend of the pianist and composer Alika Rabinovich, accidentally born in Baku, generally called the Azerbaijani composer.

No matter what is written in these newfangled little books! The main thing really is! But in fact all those people you listed, wrought in the heart of Russian culture! But Russian culture is part of the world. It does not matter which ethnic group belongs to a particular artist, the notion of "Russian" has long lost its narrow national importance, becoming a civilization indeed. vividly confirmed - works of the great Russian poet Osip Mandelstam Jew! For example, the poem "Here monstrance, a golden sun ..." is so steeped Russianness and so capacious expresses the essence of Russian culture that doubts about the cultural identity of that artist does not even arise.

That monstrance, a golden sun ...

 Osip Mandelstam

Here monstrance, as the golden sun,
Hung in the air - the perfect moment.
It should sound a Greek language:
Pick up a whole world as a simple apple.

Divine Worship solemn zenith,
Light in the circular edifice under the dome in July,
To fully breastfed beyond time we breathe
On the meadow where time does not run.


And the Eucharist, as the eternal noon, lasts --
All partake, play and sing,
And the sight of all the divine vessel
Inexhaustible mirth flows.
