Russian Boys' Activities: Music --Bands


Figure 1.--This photograph is undated. We would guess that it was taken in the early 1930s. We can't read a name of ship on boy's sailor cap. The man to the right wears service cap with a badge of the Soviet Ministry of Railways.

We do not have much information on the types of bands in Russia. Many European countries had village bands. We do not know if this was also common in Russia. As far as we can tell, school bands were not very common. There may have been orchestral groups, especially in the schools for gifted children. We are unsure about the Young Pioneers. During the Soviet era we believe that there may have been factory or workplace bands. Children of the workers may have participated. Hopefully some of our Russian readers will know more.
