Dimitri Dmitrijewitch Shostakovich (September
12/25, 1906 – August 9, 1975) was a Russian composer
of the Soviet period. He had a complex relationship
with the Soviet government, suffering two official
denunciations of his music in 1936 and 1948 and
the periodic banning of his work. At the same
time, he remained the most popular Soviet composer
of his generation and received a number of accolades
and state awards, and served in the Supreme Soviet.
