This one is a bit of a rarity! Youtube demonitzed this video for mentioning Nazis and Stalin. Because, according to Youtube, history never happened.

The video was reuploaded with censored names, but I hate that version. It actively shows how Youtube’s regulations hinder valuable and educational content. Luckily, I still had the original in a playlist, which allows me to make this hidden video visible again.

So enjoy this look at Shostakovich and his interesting musical protest to a regime which very much wanted him to follow the rules. It’s an interesting one!
