Music plays an important role for the Putin regime. This is substantiated by the example of Shostakovich’s “Leningrad” Symphony, Op. 60. On the basis of two prominent performances – under Valery Gergiev in Palmyra in 2008 and under Yuri Bashmet in St. Petersburg in 2022 – the appropriation of the work is analyzed analogously to the development of Putinism during this period. At its core is the misuse of the memory of the Nazi war of aggression against the Soviet Union, a strategy that is particularly effective in Germany
