Abstract

The article analyses the publications by and about Alan Bush in the main Soviet musicological journal Sovetskaya muzyka. His own articles deliver insight into the Western musical world, but also state his commitment to Communism and the Soviet Union. As he visited the Soviet Union several times, he maintained friendly contacts with a few Soviet musicologists who wrote about him, his music and his enthusiasm for workers' music in cordial terms. In particular, they appreciated his efforts toward friendly relations. In this sense, Alan Bush played an important role in the Russian-British cultural relationship by promoting British music in the Soviet Union and Soviet music in Britain.
