This alternate history article comprises a list of Russian classical composers, both real and fictional, dating from the Renaissance to Contemporary eras. The purpose of this list is to diversify and further enrichen classical music in Russia by adding a variety of prolific composers to each musical period. The imagined composers (highlighted in bold) may additionally serve to help the Russian composers who have already existed to be even better at their craft and be more prolific and versatile in terms of various forms of classical music.

Introduction

This is a list of Russian classical composers, both real and fictional. The fictional ones are intended to become a reality in a separate timeline or in revised history. However, the names of these composers inserted into this list are largely hypothetical. That is, they may or may not be named as such after history is changed. The names of these composers are highlighted in boldface.

The purpose of the presence of these composers is to make more compositional geniuses out of the people of Russia. European countries, particularly Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, England, and Russia are to be abundant in genius composers since the Renaissance, and America since the Baroque era. These 8 nations are the nucleus of Western classical music and composition, and thus these are the nationalities I choose to focus on.
