20.500.12556/RUP-22757 Yugoslav-Soviet Union relations from the 1950s to 1970s Cooperation, Exchange, and Cultural Transfer through the Composers’ Association of Serbia (UKS) and the Union of Yugoslav Composers (SAKOJ) Odnosi med Jugoslavijo in Sovjetsko zvezo od petdesetih do sedemdesetih let 20. stoletja sodelovanje, izmenjava in kulturni prenos prek Združenja skladateljev Srbije(UKS) in Zveze skladateljev Jugoslavije (SAKOJ) This study researches the cultural-music relations between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union from the 1950s to the 1970s, focusing on institutional cooperation led by Yugoslav composers’ associations – SAKOJ and UKS. While previous scholarship has largely overlooked classical composers and focused on macro-level cultural policies, this research addresses the underexplored role of art music in diplomatic and cultural exchanges during the Cold War. The study situates Yugoslav-Soviet musical relations within the broader socio-political context of post-World War II diplomacy, highlighting the impact of the 1948 Cominform resolution, the 1955 Belgrade and Moscow Declarations, and the liberalizing cultural policies of the 1960s. In this paper, we examined in greater detail the context of SAKOJ’s and UKS’s activities, and then, based on specific examples, illustrate how intercultural cooperation between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union functioned. We highlighted the key problematic aspects of these relations, specifically through examples of music cooperation, exchange, and cultural transfer from the 1950s to the 1970s, such as the mechanisms of exchange of cultural workers and the principles of establishing copyright. We emphasized the significance of operating through institutional structures, and the role of associations in this process. Based on our research, it could be concluded that the SAKOJ/UKS adopted a strategic and interest-given relation to the Soviet Union. With respective members, presidents, and secretaries, and other board members, profiled cooperation with the Soviet Union was proposed by exchange of delegates for guest composers and music writers, as well as through performance and promotion of Yugoslav and Soviet repertoire. Prispevek raziskuje kulturno-glasbene odnose med Jugoslavijo in Sovjetsko zvezo od petdesetih do sedemdesetih let 20. stoletja, s poudarkom na institucionalnem sodelovanju, ki sta ga vodili jugoslovanski skladateljski združenji – SAKOJ in UKS. Medtem ko so dosedanje študije večinoma spregledale klasične skladatelje in se osredotočile na kulturne politike na makro ravni, se ta raziskava ukvarja s premalo raziskano vlogo umetniške glasbe v diplomatskih in kulturnih izmenjavah med hladno vojno. Prispevek umešča jugoslovansko-sovjetske glasbene odnose v širši družbenopolitični kontekst povojne diplomacije, pri čemer poudari vpliv resolucije Kominforma iz leta 1948, beograjske in moskovske deklaracije iz leta 1955 ter liberalizacije s kulturnimi politikami šestdesetih let. Podrobneje sta obravnavana konteksta dejavnosti SAKOJ in UKS, na podlagi konkretnih primerov pa je prikazano, kako je potekalo medkulturno sodelovanje med Jugoslavijo in Sovjetsko zvezo. Poudarjeni so ključni problematični vidiki teh odnosov, zlasti na primerih glasbenega sodelovanja, izmenjave in kulturnega prenosa v obdobju od 50. do 70. let 20. stoletja, kot so mehanizmi izmenjave kulturnih delavcev in načela uveljavljanja avtorskih pravic. Poudarjena sta pomen delovanja prek institucionalnih struktur in vloga združenj v tem procesu. Na podlagi raziskav je mogoče sklepati, da sta SAKOJ in UKS do Sovjetske zveze zavzela strateški in interesno usmerjen odnos. Posamezni člani, predsedniki, tajniki in drugi člani upravnih odborov so predlagali profilirano sodelovanje s Sovjetsko zvezo, in sicer z izmenjavo predstavnikov oziroma gostujočih skladateljev in avtorjev glasbe ter z izvajanjem in promocijo jugoslovanskega in sovjetskega repertoarja.
