Wagner is often held to have exerted a greater impact on modern
culture than any other artist, yet the history of the reception of
his works in Russia has until now remained largely unexplored. This
book, which draws extensively on unpublished archival materials and
other contemporary sources, aims to show that in certain important
respects, Wagner's music and ideas found more fertile ground in
Russia than anywhere else in Europe. Beginning with the first
mention of Wagner's name in the Russian press in 1841, and ending
almost 150 years later when the composer was finally rehabilitated
during the years of glasnost, this study provides the first
detailed account of Wagner's visit to Russia in 1863, and a history
of the productions of his works in Russia both before and after the
Revolution (including radical stagings by Meyerhold and
Eisenstein). The book pays special attention to Wagner's important
influence on the Russian Modernist movement, focusing particularly
on his impact on the leading Symbolist writers, Vyacheslav Ivanov,
Andrey Bely and Aleksandr Blok.
