Russian association of the proletarian musicians

See also: ARMP

The Russian association of the proletarian musicians , ARMP (in Russian РоссийскаяАссоциацияПролетарскихМузыкантов, РАПМ) was an association of musicians during the Soviet period .

It was founded in 1923, that is to say one year before the death of Lénine and the access of Stalin to the capacity. Since 1924 a competition is established between the ARMP and the Association of the contemporary Musicians ( AMC ), turned towards the experimentation and the modern music of the Western countries.

For the ARMP the music had as a function to serve education of the Prolétariat and was thus to be simple, included/understood by all and to be able to be interpreted by the masses. It was to use national topics preferably. It represented in music the anti-formal current (or anti-intellectual) which was going to impregnate all the Soviet cultural life. In the final analysis the AMC was repudiated by the government. The ARMP itself dissolved in 1932 and was replaced by the Union of the type-setters and Soviet musicologists .
