Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) was a Soviet composer most famous for his 15 symphonies, 15 string quartets, and 3 operas (including the infamous Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, which attracted condemnation from Communist authorities who deemed it "formalist" and inaccessible to the Soviet people). After his death, author Solomon Volkov published Testimony, Shostakovich's memoirs which scathingly criticized Communist political and musical authorities. However, the book's authenticity has been hotly debated, sparking in the West a decades-long controversy about Shostakovich's political allegiances. Shostakovich lived his whole life in Russia: he was born in Imperial Russia and died in Soviet Russia.
