RUSSIAN MUSIC AND ART

The Russian intelligence services attacked America at the direction of Vladimir Putin by hacking into the computers of our political parties and by spreading lies on the internet directed at influencing the opinions and votes of our people strategically to promote the election of Donald Trump, a stooge they compromised in a plot to influence our country and to sow division among our people. This was a bad thing. We must gain control of our nation at the ballot box ,and we must protect country by fighting back online as Putin has waged cyber war on us. Having said that, we should remember that not all Russians are bad. Putin has subjugated his own people more than he has done to us.
Also, we should never wage war on Russian music and art. To do so would deny us the enjoyment of the beauty that Russia has produced. To our credit, we have never done that. Even during the most contentious times of the Cold War we continued to enjoy the music of Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Glazunov, to mention only a few of the great Russian composers.
We need to protect our democracy, but that does not mean denying ourselves the beauty of Russian music and art.
