Features: The rise of Russian music to the forefront of 20th-century artistic and cultural circles and its achievements once again prove the "objectivity" of the process of the artistic river—the laws of which are not subject to human will and cannot be changed by it. Instead, humans merely obey them rather than create them. The role of the creator does not diminish at this point; it is even enlarged, but the way of its function is different, and the purpose is also different. He must find the solution to the problem posed by the language of art, which, of course, is closely linked to the issues raised before art as a sanctuary of the spirit. Whether it is Russian composers in the first half or the second half of the 20th century, they were adept at solving many problems posed by the transition of the times in musical art. This ensured their leading position in the cultural history of the 20th century.
