Culture
Russia's literary history dates back to the 10th
century and by the early 19th century a native
tradition had emerged, producing some of the
greatest writers of all time. This period began
with Alexander Pushkin, considered to be the
founder of modern Russian literature and often
described as the "Russian Shakespeare".
Leo Tolstoy
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Music in 19th century Russia was defined by the
tension between classical composer Mikhail Glinka
and his followers, who embraced Russian national
identity and added religious and folk elements to
their compositions, and the Russian Musical
Society led by composers Anton and Nikolay
Rubinstein, which was musically conservative. The
later Romantic tradition of Tchaikovsky was
brought into the 20th century by Sergei
Rachmaninoff, one of the last great champions of
the Romantic style of European classical music
