He thought of the program he had planned back in December: the Taras Bulba Overture by Mykola Lysenko, a concerto by Edvard Grieg and César Franck’s Symphony in D Minor.

The best example may be the reign of Trofim Lysenko, who gained power over the entire scientific establishment of Soviet Russia beginning with Stalin’s regime and continuing under Nikita Khrushchev.

“This is very bad,” Lysenko said about the neutral flag for Russians and Belarusians.

Oleksandr Lysenko, mayor of the city of Sumy in northeastern Ukraine, said that three people were killed and 21 others were injured in a Russian drone strike Monday that damaged two apartment buildings.

The idea was to go directly from this children’s music into an elegy by Lysenko — a piano piece, in a new orchestral version.
