If it is based on something else, please tell me what it is and cite your source, and I will correct if need be. As far as it having a Nationalist feel, that is my subjective opinion and I stick by it.

The sence of the Symphony (as well as the one of Pushkin's verses) is somewhat ironic. Several compositions by lokshin can be found at YouTube. For example, the ballet "Fedra" (music from 4-th Symphony) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkQucMSMcVg "Margaret's Songs" are also available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUpM4Xq_0BQ As to “Symphony No.8 for Tenor and Symphony Orchestra (1973) is based on”The Songs of western Slavs” by Pushkin and has a strong Russian nationalist feel” it’s wrong.
