Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to introduce the reader to the figure of Aleksey Stanchinsky and to briefly characterize his work created during the decline of tsarist Russia. The text is divided into three parts. The first one provides a picture of the cultural context in which this artist worked. It is an outline of the leading artistic tendencies and trends in Russia, including the artistic milieu at the turn of the 20th century. The second part contains a biographical sketch of the composer, whose illness, unhappy life and, as a consequence, his premature death had a fundamental impact on his legacy. The third part constitutes an attempt to classify and characterize Stanchinsky’s work based on available materials and own research.
