This article explores the continuities and discontinuities of pre-Revolutionary intellectual traditions in 1920s Soviet culture and the Stalin-era cultural revolution. Through examination of the pre-revolutionary philosophical legacy underpinning Soviet musicological theory, I demonstrate that there are decisive features, such as Soviet Prometheanism , that characterize the musicology of the 1920s that both underline and differ from the pre-revolutionary philosophy of music and the musicology of the 1930s. I offer the basic outlines of a Soviet cultural theory of music formulated by Russian music critic, historian, composer and musicologist Boris Asafiev (1884–1949) in the 1920s. Explaining and describing what I mean by a particular cultural theory of music in the Soviet context forms the core issue of my article.

苏联音乐文化理论的形成（1917-1948）

本文探讨了 1920 年代苏联文化和斯大林时代文化大革命中革命前知识分子传统的连续性和不连续性。通过对支撑苏联音乐学理论的革命前哲学遗产的考察，我证明了 1920 年代音乐学的决定性特征，例如苏联普罗米修斯主义，既强调又不同于革命前的音乐哲学和音乐学。 1930 年代。我提供了由俄罗斯音乐评论家、历史学家、作曲家和音乐学家鲍里斯·阿萨菲耶夫（1884-1949）在 1920 年代制定的苏联音乐文化理论的基本轮廓。在苏联语境中解释和描述我所说的特定音乐文化理论的含义构成了我文章的核心问题。
