Georgy Dmitriyev, former chairman of the Moscow Composers Union, has died aged 73.

A minor apparatchik in the late Soviet era, he exploited 1990s freedoms to develop electronic music among other modernities.

His last political act was a statement in support of President Putin’s annexations in Crimea.
