Abstract
What does it mean to be Russian? In the nineteenth century, Russia saw a growth in nationalism. Intellectuals began producing literature, music, and artwork that represented Russian culture and served to separate them from France. In particular, music was a driving force in creating nationalism. Russian thought regarding national culture creation in the nineteenth century reflected the idea that every people group has a unique musical style. The influence of Russian musical style can be seen in the works of Musorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov. Each of these composers contributed to nationalism in their own unique way.
