The article addresses the issue of cultural recycling of academic music from the Soviet period. The referential texts in the Russian Wikipedia and the Great Russian Encyclopedia, currently presented for the general public in the Internet space, were selected as examples for the analysis. A comparative analysis of articles on music and the composers who lived and worked in the USSR (including Sergei Prokofiev, Dmitri Shostakovich, Dmitri Kabalevsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Boris Asafiev, Isaak Dunaevsky, Georgy Sviridov, Aram Khachaturian, Sofia Gubaidulina and Alfred Schnittke) displayed a number of regularities: emphasizing previously unknown areas of music of that period (“avant-garde music”, “repressed music”), replacement or disregard towards the epithet “Soviet” regarding musical phenomena and composers, and the absence of any nostalgia for Soviet musical culture in modern receptions. Keywords: Soviet music, cultural recycling, Wikipedia, Great Russian Encyclopedia, Sergei Prokofiev, Dmitri Shostakovich
