   I've been wondering if organizations were doing that.  Pretty   
   much all of the classical Russian composers pre-date Putin, and   
   many pre-date the Soviet Union.  I'd rather hate to see Borodin's   
   "In the Steppes of Central Asia" or any number of   
   Rimsky-Korasakhov's works dropped from being played (just to cite   
   a couple of examples).   
      
   The trend doesn't seem to have affected my local classical   
   station (KDFC), though.
