He was sure that art was a great force in the enlightenment of humanity and wished his collection of the Russian paintings to fulfil a historic mission: patriotic and moral education of the Russian people.

One can’t find a man, who does not know Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Michail Glinka, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - the prominent composers of 19th century, and Sergey Rachmaninov, Sergey Prokofiev and Dmitriy Shostakovich.

It was Glinka (1804-1857) who laid the foundation for modern Russian music; his music expressed the temperament of Russian people. His two best known operas "Ivan Susanin" and "Ruslan and Ludmila" were based on Russian folklore and historical legends.

The most famous ballets " Swan Lake ", "The Sleeping Beauty", " The Nutcracker " and not less famous operas " The Queen of Spades ", "Eugene Onegin" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky are still excellently staged and performed not only in Russian but in many greatest theatres in the world.
