The music that was composed and/or performed by the Soviet artists, from 1920s until 1990s. Soviet music included classical, pop, rock, folk, and electronic music. While Russian artists were most numerous, each Soviet republic also produced its own artists, often with local ethnic flavor. Most artists were published through the state-owned labels and therefore their lyrics and image were subject to censorship; however, an underground music scene also existed.
