Much of the music of Shostakovich and Prokofiev is very beautiful. You are almost certainly familiar with Prokofiev's 'Troika' from the Lieutenant Kije Suite; it's been co-opted, usually without attribution, as a standard piece of Christmas music; yet it was written as the soundtrack for a Bolshevik propaganda film.

But it was originally Christmas music that was co-opted by the commies. That's nothing more than a form a propaganda. Show me something directly from the commies that is beautiful. You will have to look long and hard.

You have some evidence Kije was plagiarized? From where? Source?
