Circumstances of death.
I recall that, decades ago, I heard that Galynin died in mysterious circumstances - or, more accurately disappeared - because, as best I remember it, he apparently fell out of favour with the Soviet authorities and simply disappeared, and the suspicion was that he was imprisoned or held in a psychiatric hospital, and was never seen nor heard of ever again, so presumably dying in custody. This was mentioned by a radio announcer introducing a broadcast of his Piano Concerto no. 1, so there is no way of verifying it, or checking that I remember the account accurately.

I notice the article is strangely lacking in details on his death, noting simply that he died in 1966 in Moscow. I was just wondering if anyone who comes across this article knows any more about this, and whether they could consider adding this to the article, if a reliable source can be found.

This page partly agrees with what I remember: https://www.wrightmusic.net/pdfs/german-germanovich-galynin.pdf

I have no idea whether it counts as a reliable source, but it does partly agree with what I remember: he suffered from mental illness (apparently real and not trumped up by the Societ regime), and spent time in hospitals and psychiatric clinics, and also died in a mental hospital. It also says he was criticized by the Soviet government, but makes no connection between these two things. But it doesn't seem to agree with my memory of his "disappearing", nor is there any suggestion in this source that he was committed to psychiatric hospitals by the government. Perhaps I remember wrongly what I heard the radio announcer say (it was decades ago), or may be he did say it but it was incorrect. I have often wondered about this over the years.

Can anyone shed more light on this? M.J.E. (talk) 10:54, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
