Isn't "The long list of honours and awards that he received" generally agreed to be a testament to him toeing the party line? His behaviour towards other, greater composers was certainly questionable to say the least.

Dmitry Kabalevsky was born in St. Petersburg in 1904, and studied music at the Moscow Conservatory.

The long list of honours and awards that he received – these included the Lenin Prize (1972) and Hero of Socialist Labour (1974) – is a testament to his ability to work as a creative artist.

He gave us:

Yes to both.

(I have to confess to liking his Cello Concerto, though).
