Jazz was imported shortly after the revolution. Communist authorities originally saw it as a positive, modernizing influence. Although later banned as bourgeois, jazz remained widely popular especially among Soviet intellectuals. Today, jazz is perhaps more popular in the former USSR than it is in America, with many modern pop and rock artists being directly and obviously influenced by it.

Languages: Search for jazz or jazz-influenced music performed in Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, or Belarusian, or in Baltic, Turkic, or Other languages.
