But in another sense, the image of Dr Vasilyeva at her piano as officers swarm around her harks back to an earlier, Soviet-era tradition: it is an illustration of the intelligentsia turning to art as a means of private resistance against the incursions of the state. Dmitri Shostakovich (who did keep a packed bag at the ready for when a knock at the door came) continued to compose music he knew would never be performed in his lifetime even as he produced work that would satisfy the authorities. Anna Akhmatova, who chronicled Stalinist repressions in her poem “Requiem”, persuaded friends to memorise the work so that it could exist outside the control of the Soviet censors. Other, more obscure members of the intelligentsia learned swathes of classical poetry by heart and performed it in the camps.
