Musicology Annotation << Back Jacques Handschin on the Events in 1917: Soviet Russia, as Viewed by a «Neutral Swiss» Zhanna V. Kniazeva The activity of the famous organist and musicologist Jacques Handschin (1886–1955) in Petrograd in 1917–1918 is not studied well. The discovery of Handschin’s legacy as historical and politcal texts dedicated to events taken place in Russia in 1917 had been of a great surprise. These texts allowed to suppose Handschin to be a historician thinking socially and politically.  Keywords: Jacques Handschin, St. Petersburg, revolution of 1917. E-mail: janna.kniazeva@mail.ru.
