I've been wondering if organizations were doing that.  Pretty
much all of the classical Russian composers pre-date Putin, and
many pre-date the Soviet Union.  I'd rather hate to see Borodin's
"In the Steppes of Central Asia" or any number of
Rimsky-Korasakhov's works dropped from being played (just to cite
a couple of examples).

The trend doesn't seem to have affected my local classical
station (KDFC), though.
