	Aram Khachaturian - Biography - Moviefone
		Khachaturian also composed patriotic cantatas, such as Pesnya Stalina (Song of Stalin, 1937), and served as deputy chairman and vice president of the organizing committee of the Union of Soviet Composers, so it was somewhat surprising when, in 1948, Khachaturian, along with Prokofiev and Shostakovich, was censured for modernist and "formalist" excesses.
		Khachaturian's music is rooted in his Armenian homeland, so it was probably guilt by association rather than his music that brought him trouble, although he was forced to publicly renounce his "cosmopolitan" tendencies.
		Khachaturian also composed original music for several films which were later arranged by him to be played in concert: Stalingradskaya bitva I, II (1949-1950) became the orchestral suite The Battle for Stalingrad (1952) and Tuaurnaya oda pamyati Vladimira Il'yicha Lenina (1949), based on a biopic of the revolutionary leader.
