On the basis of documents kept in the Darmstadt archives, the article traces the history of the interaction of the International Summer Courses for New Music with Soviet musicians and musical institutions. Although the change in the political situation during the Cold War had a significant impact on the intensity of contacts, they were never interrupted. Also, the nature of contacts was influenced by the business qualities and interests of course chiefs; in this regard, the article proposes a periodization of the history of Soviet and post-Soviet music in the most significant center of the Western musical avant-garde.
