Russia and Eastern Europe
n In the midst of their many problems
eastern Europe enjoyed during the late
19th century a period of cultural
productivity that helped to enhance
their sense of national heritage.
Russian novelists, such as Turgenev,
Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy, gained world
fame.
In music composers moved from the
brilliant romanticism of Tchaikovsky to
innovative styles.
n Eastern European composers, such as
Chopin and Lizt, produced important works.
In science the Czech “Mendel” advanced
the study of genetics and the Russian
“Pavlov” contributed in physiology.
