# Vic Duppa-Whyte

**Vic Duppa-Whyte** (1934–1986) was a British paper engineer and author for pop-up books.

Born in Southern Africa, Duppa-Whyte moved to the United Kingdom before attending college. After graduating from the Ealing Art College in London, he started designed promotional items and packaging for companies.

In 1969, Duppa-Whyte started creating children's books with pop-up inserts to fulfill a contract. By 1983, he started concentrating on these books, producing them on the human body, the US Space Shuttle, Halley's Comet, and the British Royal family. Duppa-Whyte also taught three dimensional art at Kingston Polytechnic in London.

Duppa-Whyte died in 1986 in South America.

## Influence

Paper engineer David A. Carter recalled his friendship with Duppa-Whyte, “...while I was in London, I spent some time with him in his studio. He showed me all of his work and we talked a lot...He was another John Strejan-type paper engineer...Vic would show me things off the shelf and the paper engineering was just incredible – the things he would make happen. He was working on *The War of the Worlds*, which has never been published, but he actually had the spaceship floating in the air. It had a couple of little tiny pieces supporting it, but it was floating in the air. It was just incredible! "

Paper engineer Graham Brown once noted his favorite paper engineer was Duppa-Whyte, “...I worked with \[him\] on The Legend of King Arthur and the Round Table. I enjoyed the collaboration greatly because he was a brilliant paper engineer and a very laid-back guy. Unfortunately, he died before it was completed.... In my opinion he was probably the most original and creative paper engineer around."

# Love on the Run (1936 film)

***Love on the Run*** is a 1936 American romantic comedy film, directed by W.S. Van Dyke, produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and starring Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Franchot Tone and Reginald Owen in a story about rival newspaper correspondents assigned to cover the marriage of a socialite. The screenplay by John Lee Mahin, Manuel Seff and Gladys Hurlbut was based on a story by Alan Green and Julian Brodie. *Love on the Run* is the seventh of eight cinematic collaborations between Crawford and Gable. At the time of its release, *Love on the Run* was called "a lot of happy nonsense" by critics, but was a huge financial success, nonetheless.

## Plot

Rival London-based American newspaper correspondents Michael "Mike" Anthony (Clark Gable) and Barnabas "Barney" Pells (Franchot Tone) flip a coin to determine who will cover which of two boring assignments. Mike gets to cover the wedding of millionairess Sally Parker (Joan Crawford) to fortune-seeking Prince Igor (Ivan Lebedeff), while Barney has to interview aviator Baron Otto Spandermann (Reginald Owen) and his wife, Baroness Hilda (Mona Barrie).

When Mike sees Sally running out of the church, he follows her, hoping to get a story. At her hotel, Mike runs into the suspicious Barney, but does not tell him what just happened. He then sneaks into Sally's hotel room, tells her that he has admired her for years, and suggests that he help her "get away from it all." When the gigolo prince comes to the hotel, Mike slugs him when the prince recognizes him as a reporter. He and Sally run away, using the Baron and Baroness's flying suits as disguises. Barney chases them to the airport, but is too late. They fly away, though neither is a pilot. Just before they crash land in France, they find a munitions map in a bouquet of flowers intended for the Baroness and realize that the aviators are spies.

Although Mike has sent a secret cablegram about Sally to his editor, Lees Berger (William Demarest), in New York, he is even more excited about the spy story. In Paris, Mike and Sally are found by Barney, then are spotted by the Baron and Baroness. Barney comes along when they flee, but Mike pushes him into the back of the truck they steal and convinces Sally that Barney is a lowlife reporter. By nightfall, they arrive at the Palace of Fontainebleau and sneak in to spend the night. During the evening, they realize that they are in love, and Mike tries to tell her that he is a reporter, but cannot. Next morning, Barney finds them again, but Sally does not believe him when he accuses Mike of being a reporter too. Soon, however, an ashamed Mike gives her a newspaper with his byline. He apologizes and tells her he loves her, but she sends him away. When Barney arrives, she says she will give him the greatest story of his career, and they go off to make headlines.

A short time later, while they are traveling by train to Nice, Sally realizes that she still loves Mike and wants to go to him, but just then the Baron and Baroness come into their compartment with guns and demand that Sally give them the map. When they do not find it, after pushing Barney off the train, they leave. Barney catches up with Mike at a cafe in Paris and tells him what happened, Mike decides to save Sally. In Nice, Mike is reunited with Sally, and they go to the train station. In the station, the Baroness switches clothes with Sally in the ladies room, then goes with Mike, posing as Sally. The Baron finds Sally and takes her to a restaurant. She tries to alert the police, but when two policemen arrive, they believe the Baron's story that she stole his aircraft.

The Baron then kidnaps Sally and the policemen and takes them to his chateau, where the Baroness has Mike bound and gagged. Having followed Mike and the Baroness (thinking that she was Sally), Barney at first laughs at Mike, then frees him. Using various ruses, Mike, Sally and the policemen eventually overwhelm the spies. Sally and Mike go off, leaving Barney tied up, but Mike has a change of heart and returns, once again finding Barney trying to get his story first by using the chateau phone to cable his editor. They finally agree to file a joint byline. Sally and Mike agree that they will soon be married.

## Cast

## Production

Looking to capitalize on the American screwball comedy genre, MGM paired its two top box office stars, Gable and Crawford. Principal photography took place from August 19 to September 15, 1936.

A Lockheed Model 10E Electra figures prominently as the aircraft stolen from the airport. The aircraft was provided by Hollywood "stunt" pilot Paul Mantz who acted as the aerial coordinator for the brief aerial sequence. It was precisely the same plane later flown by Mantz's friend Amelia Earhart on her ill-fated around-the-world expedition in 1937.

## Reception

In his review of *Love on the Run*, Howard Barnes of the *New York Herald Tribune* wrote, "A lot of gay nonsense has been strung together ... a fantastic and insubstantial narrative, with the result that it is almost continuously amusing and frequently hilarious ... Miss Crawford, of the big eyes and flowing hair, turns in a surprisingly volatile and amusing performance as the heiress." John T. McManus in his review for *The New York Times*, however, called it, "A slightly daffy cinematic item of absolutely no importance." *Variety* wrote that it was "crowded with ludicrous situations" and suffered from "meandering story development, some slipshod dialogue concoctions and several vapid moments." John Mosher of *The New Yorker* wrote, "Everybody works very hard in *Love on the Run*, but only succeeds in seeming pretty pitiful."

In a later review by film critic and historian Leonard Maltin, he dismissed the film as derivative; "This stale 'It Happened One Night' variation relies solely on its star power."

### Box office

According to MGM records *Love on the Run* earned $1,141,000 in the United States and Canada and $721,000 elsewhere resulting in a profit of $1,284,000.

# Wang Dengping

**Wang Dengping** (Chinese: 王登平; born November 1952) is a vice admiral (*zhong jiang*) of China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). He has been a Deputy Political Commissar of the PLAN since December 2014, and formerly served as Political Commissar of the PLAN's North Sea Fleet and South Sea Fleet. He has been described as having hawkish views regarding China's territorial disputes.

## Biography

Wang Dengping was born in Feixi County in East China's Anhui Province. He studied radio electronics at Tsinghua University in the 1970s, and has a master's degree in political science from the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party.

Wang enlisted in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 1970, in the middle of the Cultural Revolution, and served as a platoon leader before becoming a political officer. He spent part of his career in Beijing in the PLA General Political Department's Propaganda Department, first as deputy director of an unidentified bureau, and then as director. For a time he served as the secretary of General Zhou Keyu. Afterwards, he joined the navy as deputy political commissar of the North Sea Fleet's Qingdao Support Base. He was promoted to the rank of rear admiral in July 2002.

In 2002, Wang embarked on a navy expedition that circumnavigated the globe. He worked closely with the commander of this expedition, Vice Admiral Ding Yiping. Wang later wrote an article describing the experience, entitled "The Chinese People's Navy's First Around-The-World Voyage."

In 2003, Wang was promoted to political commissar of the Qingdao Support Base. From 2006 to 2009, Wang served as political commissar of the Navy Equipment Department. In 2009, Wang became political commissar of the North Sea Fleet. He attained the rank of vice admiral in July 2011. In 2012, he was assigned to the South Sea Fleet, and Bai Wenqi succeeded him as political commissar of the North Sea Fleet. As a vice admiral, he was the highest ranking of the three fleet commissars. Wang was a deputy to the 11th National People's Congress (2008–2013).

Wang accompanied then Director of the PLA General Political Department, General Li Jinai, on two separate delegations: one to New Zealand and Chile in 2010, and one to North Korea in 2011. Additionally, he participated in a delegation to Sri Lanka and India in 2012, which was led by then Minister of Defense General Liang Guanglie.

In December 2014, Wang was appointed deputy political commissar of the PLA Navy.

## Views

A 2012 article in *Global People*, a tabloid published by the *People's Daily*, quotes Chinese military academics as saying that the appointment of VADM Jiang Weilie and VADM Wang to lead the South Sea Fleet indicated China's "firm resolve to safeguard its maritime rights and territorial integrity," and "can be viewed as a signal of more active Chinese responses to South China Sea issues." The article also quotes a PLA Academy of Military Science scholar as saying that both Jiang and Wang had expertise in the application of information technology to command and control, and that both possessed a "more hardline military position." Around the same time, the Hong Kong newspaper *South China Morning Post* described Wang as "famously hawkish."

In 2009, Wang told China News, "We do care about the South \[China\] Sea issue. We cannot let the territory shrink in our hands. We cannot lose the 3-million-square-kilometer territorial waters while protecting them." That same year, he told Hong Kong media, "From a military perspective, \[China's\] sovereignty over its maritime territories cannot be taken away – not even a single inch of it. We must defend it. We cannot lose it." He was also quoted on several instances after the 2009 incident with the U.S. Navy ship *Impeccable*, asserting China's right to regulate military activities in its exclusive economic zone.

# Mary Larteh

**Mary Larteh i**s a woman traditional leader in Liberia. She is the Paramount Chief of the Jorquelleh Chiefdom in the Bong County.

## Chieftaincy

Larteh was appointed under the Presidency of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. She heads 14 paramount chiefs in her county.

She was suspended from this position in 2016 over an alleged involvement in the illegal establishment of Sande bushes in her community. According to the Executive Director of Women Solidarity Incorporated, her action was seen as a means of denying girls of school going age of their right to access education. She was however reinstated the following year by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is still the chief of the area.

## Advocacy

In the 2017 runoff elections in Liberia, she admonished the youth of her community to uphold peace, and avoid resorting to or being used to instigate any form of violence during and after the election process.

Chief Mary Larteh is one of the several women traditional leaders whose leadership is being studied under a University of Ghana project titled "Women and Political Participation in Africa: A Comparative Study of Representation and Role of Female Chiefs", which is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In this project, a mixed-methods approach is adopted to comparatively study women’s representation in the institution of chieftaincy and their influence on women’s rights and wellbeing in Botswana, Ghana, Liberia, and South Africa. Lead researchers on the project, Peace A. Medie, Adriana A. E Biney, Amanda Coffie and Cori Wielenga, have also published an opinion piece titled "Women traditional leaders could help make sure the pandemic message is heard" in The Conversation news, which discusses how women traditional leaders can educate their subjects on Covid-19.

title: Wang Delin

# Wang Delin

**Wang Delin** (Chinese: 王德林; pinyin: *Wáng Délín*; Wade–Giles: *Wang Teh-ling*, 1875－1938) was a bandit, soldier, and leader of the Chinese People's National Salvation Army resisting the Japanese pacification of Manchukuo.

## Early life

Wang Delin was born in October 1875. He became a bandit in Manchuria after the Russian invasion in July 1900 when Tsarist forces were sent to Northeast China, to protect the Russian-owned Chinese Eastern Railway or CER. Wang declared his opposition to both the Russians and China's Qing dynasty, describing himself as "forced to become an outlaw to cast out the Russians and save the nation". His band operated attacking trains along the eastern part of the CER, in the Muling and Suifenhe areas. He also attacked Russian shipping on the Songhua and Ussuri rivers and held captives for ransom. Wang was an outlaw for years, even beyond the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911.

## Political actions

In 1917, Wang agreed that he and his followers would become part of the Jilin provincial forces, himself as commander of the Third Battalion of the First Brigade of the Jilin Army. Wang brought with him, two companions who had been with him for many years, Wu Yicheng and Kong Xianrong, each commanding a company. Still a battalion commander at the time of the Mukden Incident in 1931, Wang was stationed near Yanji, a small town in the east of Jilin province, where the Japanese were constructing a new, railway line. After Wang's troops fired on a party of Japanese surveyors, his commander attempted to persuade him to move his battalion with an offer of promotion. Wang refused to submit to the Manchukuo regime and his defiance attracted others to join him. When on February 8, 1932, Wang Delin proclaimed the establishment of the Chinese People's National Salvation Army (NSA), his battalion of 200 men had swollen to a force of over 1,000.

By capturing the town of Dunhua on February 20, the Wang reversed the Japanese advance which had seemed irresistible until then. He was attracting the support of peasant brotherhoods and bandits, and a few Korean nationalists, that were already taking up arms against the recently proclaimed State of Manchukuo. By the end of the month, the NSA was 4,600 strong. To bring in more recruits. Wang appealed to the patriotism of Chinese soldiers in the Manchukuo forces to not fight other Chinese, shaming them into deserting and joining the volunteers. The tactic succeeded, bringing large numbers of well-armed and trained recruits.

In March 1932, a Japanese and Manchukuoan expeditionary force was defeated in a series of battles with the NSA around the shore of Lake Jingpo losing hundreds of casualties. These battles were small in scale, the volunteers using their knowledge of the local terrain to set ambushes, eventually compelling the Japanese to retreat to Harbin.

By this time Wang had about 10,000 men and he was recognized as a general by the "Old Jilin" leader Gen. Li Du at his headquarters at Sanxing in Heilongjiang Province on the lower Sungari River. He along with Gen. Ding Chao raised a number of volunteers to supplement their regulars defeated at Harbin the previous year. These various forces constituted themselves initially as the Jilin Self-Defence Army, but by the end of April 1932 they were known as the National Salvation Army.

The Japanese had concentrated northwest of Harbin against General Ma Zhanshan in spring and summer of 1932, which allowed the increase in partisan activity in Jilin and Liaoning provinces. This activity culminated in simultaneous attacks on cities throughout the South Manchurian Railway Zone as severe August floods halted Japanese operations based on Harbin, and isolated the troops engaged on them. Japanese preparations for invading Rehe province later that year had to be halted by the need to subdue this widespread partisan activity, and with Japanese forces concentrated to the west, the forces of Wang and Feng Zhanhai managed to briefly occupy the capital of Jilin province.

However things began to go wrong when the NSA became embroiled in disputes with General Li Du's Jilin Self-Defence Army. One of Li's subordinates tried to persuade one of Wang Delin's commanders to put his force into the Self-Defence Army. Also, NSA troops were killed by the Self-Defence Army for the confiscation of the weapons of a White Russian mine owner. Finally, Li,s subordinate was put in a sack and thrown into a river, probably at the instigation of Wang Delin's deputy, Kong Xianrong. This rift forced the abandonment of the city.

The Japanese followed up with "Anti Bandit" Operations that fall and winter that eventually drove the Volunteer armies to break up into small bands or retreat into the Soviet Union as Wang's force did on January 13, 1933. Eventually Wang returned to China via Europe, and continued to support the anti Japanese movement. On December 20, 1938 he died in the province of Shandong.

# Martin Perscheid

**Martin Perscheid** (16 February 1966 – 31 July 2021) was a German cartoonist. He created a main character in 1994, who appeared from 1998 under the title *Perscheids Abgründe* (Perscheid's abysses). More than 4,300 strips appeared in several German newspapers and magazines. He is known for his "fearless glimpses into human abysses of sexism, racism, ignorance, corruption and stupidity, captured with black humour."

## Life

Perscheid was born in Wesseling on 16 February 1966, where he lived and worked until his death. He was trained as a lithograph designer. Perscheid was married and had two children but at the time of his death he was in a relationship with fellow cartoonist Nadia Menze. Perscheid died on 31 July 2021 after a long battle with cancer.

Born to a Catholic family, Perscheid soon became an atheist and humanist which influenced his work significantly. From 2020 to his death, he was a member of the board of advisers of the Giordano Bruno Foundation, a German non-profit organization that promotes evolutionary humanism and enlightenment.

## Cartoons

Perscheid's drawing style has been compared to that of Gary Larson. His themes are usually satirical, not avoiding taboo subjects, and often including black comedy. His series were in an unchanged upright format framed black, drawn with sparse lines and unerring punch line delivery ("mit zielsicherer Pointenführung").

His works have been published in various German newspapers and magazines. In 1994, he joined the Lappan Verlag, and remained with the house until his death. He then created his main character, a bald, bespectacled man, and a stand-in for Perscheid himself. His series around the character was named *Perscheids Abgründe* (*Perscheid's Abysses*) in 1996. He created over 4,300 strips. He published his first book in 1995. In his career, he published over 25 books with cartoons.

## Awards and legacy

Perscheid's cartoons have been presented in museums, including a show of the Caricatura museum in Kassel and the Museum der niederrheinischen Seele in 2017.

He received many awards for his work, including the Max & Moritz Prize 2002 for the best Cartoon Series in German, as well as the "*Kulturplakette*" (Culture Award) from his hometown of Wesseling. The Caricatura museum honoured him by a sculpture of his cartoon character, named *Der unbekannte Idiot* (The unknown idiot).

His publisher, Carlsen Verlag, wrote in an obituary: "His fearlessness of glimpses into human abysses of sexism, racism, ignorance, corruption and stupidity, and how he captured all this in cartoons with biting derision and black humour, was unique."

# Music of the Heart

***Music of the Heart*** is a 1999 American biographical musical drama film directed by Wes Craven and written by Pamela Gray, based on the 1995 documentary *Small Wonders*. A dramatization of the true story of Roberta Guaspari, portrayed by Meryl Streep, who co-founded the Opus 118 Harlem School of Music and fought for music education funding in New York City public schools, the film also stars Aidan Quinn, Angela Bassett, Gloria Estefan in her film debut, Jane Leeves, Kieran Culkin and Jay O. Sanders. It was Craven's sole mainstream cinematic film not in the horror or thriller genre, and also his only film to receive Oscar nominations.

## Plot

In 1981 New York City, violinist Roberta Guaspari has recently divorced her U.S. Navy officer husband Charles Demetras, who has instead decided to pursue a romantic relationship with a friend of hers named Lana Holden. Encouraged by her mother Assunta to return to the workforce for the sake of her two sons Alexi and Nicholas, Guaspari attempts to rebuild her life and reconnects with a former classmate named Brian Turner while working as a gift-wrapper at a department store; recalling her childhood love for playing the violin, he arranges for her to be introduced to Janet Williams, the head teacher and principal of East Harlem's Central Park East School. Despite having little experience in actual music teaching, she accepts a substitute violin teaching position at Central Park East, even supplying 50 child-size violins she purchased while living in Greece, where her husband was based. With a combination of her toughness and determination, she inspires a group of children, and their initially skeptical parents. The program slowly develops and attracts publicity, eventually expanding to Central Park East II and River East Schools.

Ten years later, the Central Park East, Central Park East II and River East School string programs work with the New York City Board of Education to help eliminate funding for the programs, which leads to Guaspari's early dismissal. Determined to fight the budget cuts, she enlists the support of former pupils, parents and teachers, and over the next two years, she plans a benefit concert, Fiddlefest, to raise money so that the program can continue. However, a few weeks before the concert, and with all participants furiously rehearsing, they lose the venue. However, Arnold Steinhardt, a violinist in the Guarneri Quartet and the husband of a publicist friend, enlists the support of other well-known musicians, including Isaac Stern and Itzhak Perlman. They arrange for the concert to be mounted at Carnegie Hall. On the day of Fiddlefest, Guaspari and her students perform with Perlman, Steinhardt, Stern, Mark O'Connor, Michael Tree, Charles Veal Jr., Karen Briggs, Sandra Park, Diane Monroe, and Joshua Bell, increasing donations and making the event a massive success.

The epilogue explains that following the events of the film, the $250,000 in proceeds from the concert supported Guaspari's program for three years, during which she and her supporters continued to fund her work through benefit concerts and donations to their private foundation, the Opus 118 Harlem School of Music; Community School District 4 assisted as permitted by its limited resources. Eventually, her violin program was officially reinstated during the production of the film. In addition, she still teaches in East Harlem, where she lives with her daughter Sophia, whom she adopted from El Salvador in 1991. Her eldest son Nicholas has become a professional cellist in a graduate music program, and her youngest son Alexi has been accepted to medical school. Opus 118, which hopes to expand its outreach to more children, remains dependent on the generosity of its donors.

## Cast

Itzhak Perlman, Arnold Steinhardt, Isaac Stern, Mark O'Connor, Michael Tree, Charles Veal Jr., Karen Briggs, Sandra Park, Diane Monroe, and Joshua Bell all cameo as themselves in the film's recreation of the Carnegie Hall benefit concert (at which all were actually present).

## Production

Roberta Guaspari and the Opus 118 Harlem School of Music was featured in the 1995 documentary film *Small Wonders*, which was later nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. After seeing *Small Wonders*, Wes Craven, known for his work on horror films, was inspired to make a full-length film about Guaspari. Immediately following a phenomenally successful preview screening of *Scream*, Miramax co-founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein offered him a three-picture deal via Dimension Films; two of the films would be in the horror genre, while the third film would be a "petticoat film", a costume drama for which the Weinsteins were known at the time. Craven, both a former teacher and a fan of classical music, chose to pursue *Music of the Heart* as his "petticoat film", explaining, "It’s sort of a culmination of almost 30 years trying to do something outside of the genre. Not because I don’t like the genre, but because I’m a person … an artist who wants to do a lot of different things. Just never before has that opportunity been presented."

Madonna was originally signed to play the role of Guaspari, but left the project before filming began, citing "creative differences" with Craven. When she left, Madonna had already studied for many months to play the violin. Meryl Streep, who replaced Madonna at the last minute at Craven's insistence, learned to play Bach's Concerto for 2 Violins for the film; given six weeks of preparation in order to play the violin, she described, "I had to beg them to give me some more time for the violin part of it." Aside from having the daunting task of learning the violin while acting like a professional, she also found the burden of playing a real person to be particularly challenging, explaining, "Playing a real person carries with it a whole other set of responsibilities than you would have when creating a fictional character. So, I did as much research as I could and then I just sort of threw it away because I can’t think of the real Roberta. I had to make it our Roberta, our movie Roberta. The real woman is a sizable phenomenon of energy, inspiration, hard work, irascibility. I tried to capture little parts of her and put it together in the film."

## Critical reception

The film received an overall mixed reception, though many reviews tended to be slightly positive. Most critics applauded Meryl Streep's portrayal of Roberta Guaspari. The film has a 64% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes based on 91 critical reviews; the consensus explains, "Meryl Streep's depiction of an ordinary person doing extraordinary things transcends, inspires, and entertains." CinemaScore reported that audiences gave the film a rare "A+" grade.

Critic Eleanor Ringel Gillespie of the *Atlanta Journal-Constitution* concluded that "There are more challenging movies around. More original ones, too. But "Music of the Heart" gets the job done, efficiently and entertainingly."

Roger Ebert gave the film three stars out of four and wrote that "Meryl Streep is known for her mastery of accents; she may be the most versatile speaker in the movies. Here you might think she has no accent, unless you've heard her real speaking voice; then you realize that Guaspari's speaking style is no less a particular achievement than Streep's other accents. This is not Streep's voice, but someone else's - with a certain flat quality, as if later education and refinement came after a somewhat unsophisticated childhood."

Steve Rosen said that "The key to Meryl Streep's fine performance is that she makes Guaspari unheroically ordinary. Ultimately that makes her even more extraordinary."

In 2014, the film was one of several discussed by Keli Goff in *The Daily Beast* in an article concerning white savior narratives in film.

### Box office

The film opened at #5 at the North American box office making 3.6 million in its opening weekend.

# Military Band Service of the Armed Forces of Russia

The **Military Band Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation** serves as the official service of military bands in active service within the Russian Armed Forces and formerly the Soviet Armed Forces. It is part of the Military Band Service Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

## History

For a country that has not just one of the largest armed forces in the world but also has produced some of the greatest composers and musicians, the MBS-AFR is one of the oldest institutions of military music in Europe and the world, founded by Peter the Great as per Ukaz № 2319 enacted on Feb. 19, 1711, which mandated the formation of military bands and field music formations within both the Imperial Russian Army and the nascent Imperial Russian Navy following the Western practices. As both the Army's two foundation regiments (the Preobrazhensky Regiment and the Semyonovsky Regiment) had their own bands and corps of drums, which would also inspire the formation of the bands and fanfare band units within the artillery and the cavalry, the age of Peter the Great, aside from laying the foundation of the armed forces, also began centuries of the Russian military band tradition, which continues until today. In the 1870s, a post called the Inspector of Naval Bands, held by composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov until its abolishment, became the starting point for the official organized arrangement of military bands. In 1922, the Inspectorate of the Military Bands of the Red Army and Navy was formed, renamed in 1955 as the current Military Band Service. In October 1924, the post of Inspector of Military Bands of the Red Army. As of 1947, Inspectorate of Military Bands reported directly to the head of the 3rd Division of the Combat Training Department of the Soviet Army Headquarters, where it was transferred to on 1 December 1931.
