People who lived in the USSR remember this peculiar tradition well. So, in the days when Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko died, the ballet was played from morning to night. And during the coup in 1991, "Swan Lake" could be learned to the smallest detail, because it was shown for three days without a break! There is also an opinion that it was decided for the first time to show the people "Swan Lake" on the day of the death of the Secretary General because Tchaikovsky finished work on the work precisely on the memorial week, after Easter. Perhaps that is why the famous ballet was destined to become a symbol of remembrance and the end.
