In 1961 Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko published "Babi Yar", a reflection on the 1941 massacre of nearly 34,000 Jews at the Babi Yar ravine in Kiev (Kyiv), and a searing condemnation of Soviet condoned anti-Semitism. A long-time sympathiser towards the difficulties faced by Jews in Russia, Dmitri Shostakovich was determined to set the poetry to music. The result is his Symphony No 13—five movements for bass soloist, lower voice chorus, and full orchestra.
