Talk:Aleksandr Lokshin

message: Someone has obviously taken a lot of trouble over this bio article. Subsectioned for ease of reading and formatted. Will be good to add a section about the actual music itself. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: On the music

message: Mr Galassi has written the following (Revision of 02:30 6 May 2012):
"After Stalin's death Lokshin was accused by Alexander Esenin-Volpin of being an informer for the Soviet secret police NKVD-KGB, responsible for the arrests of a number of Moscow students, who were incarcerated in GULAG, including Esenin-Volpin himself ..."
The bold text is a calumny, an invention of Mr.Galassi.

replies: text: You are acting inappropriately, ber WP:RS, WP:OR and WP:COI. Wikepedia is not a forum, it has strict neutrality rules, and it doesn't care whether Lokshin is guilty or not. He is a composer, ñot a defendant in a trial, and his dirty laundry cannot be emphasised like that. --Galassi (talk) 19:29, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  As to the accusations they are neither proven, nor disproven, and they have never been formal. Some people believe Lokshin, some don't. Period.--Galassi (talk) 19:31, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I am goimg to speak about contributions by user Galassi at 12:43, 8 May 2012‎ (-327). 
1. Using term "reputation" (in a title) is not neutral and has an apriori negative shade which does not correspond to Wikipedia principles. 
2. It is absolutely impossible to ignore the historical fact that Lokshin's Requiem has been performed at the closing of IV Conference "Resistance in Gulag" (2002). This performance has been mentoned in press many times and presents an essential episode in Lokshin's story. By ignoring this episode the whole article about Lokshin becomes biased.
3. When referring to NYtimes , user Galassi  writes:
Lokshin was accused by Alexander Esenin-Volpin of being an informer for the Soviet secret police NKVD-KGB, responsible for the arrests of himself and Vera Prokhorova, 
However,in the referred to article in NYtimes the whole sentence has another meaning
"Lokshin, who was officially censured alongside Shostakovich and Prokofiev in 1948 and later accused of being an informer by former gulag prisoners (accusations which Lokshin denies and have never been proven true)"
By deleting the words "accusations which have never been proven true" user Galassi leads  the reader to misunderstanding of composer's biography.Aalex1812 (talk) 21:34, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

message: 1. The article is not written by me. I do only take part in editing it.
2.The article does not contain OR at all.
3. The rumor mentioned by user Galassi does not circulate in Russia any more. The authority of Elena Bonner,Dimitry Schostakovich, Rudolf Barshai , Semen S.Vilensky, Dimitry Bykov, Alla Bossart, Maria Judina, Boris Tischenko stopped it.See e.g.http://www.sem40.ru/famous2/m1007.shtml and http://old.mospravda.ru/issue/2012/05/04/article31511/
4.User Galassi contradicts himself. It was namely he who deleted the words : "accusations which have never been proven true" when referring to NYTimes.Aalex1812 (talk) 21:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The list of Lokshin's works includes many items decribed as being "for BSO". Would I be correct in presuming that this is a partial translation of the Russian expression "для большого симфонического оркестра" (for large symphony orchestra)? If so, I propose changing "for BSO" to (simply) "for orchestra" throughout, as this is the usual, default way of describing works for symphony orchestra in English (with other types -- chamber orchestra, wind orchestra, etc. -- being noted specifically as such). -- Picapica (talk) 17:29, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
