Article was created on the day of the nomination and is long enough for DYK standards. Given that all of the sources are offline and/or in Russian, I am unable to check each statement individually and so AGF here; however, if possible, I'd like to request a brief excerpt for the relevant statements supporting both hooks. A QPQ has been done and I didn't find any close paraphrasing. Either hook can be used (both are cited inline and AGF on their verification and sourcing), although I do have a slight preference for ALT1.

- Thanks for the review! Give me a few minutes to find the book for ALT0 in my stacks. Be right back! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 02:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK, here's the source quote for ALT0 with my translation. It comes from Sviridov's personal jottings that were intended for an essay about Shostakovich published in 1976:

—CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:04, 17 July 2024 (UTC)Когда я играл в Союзе Лен<инградских> комп<озиторов> свою Стр<унную> симфонию, он выступил на обсуждении и говорил: «Свиридов—это наша надежда» и еще несколько раз так говорил. (When at the Len[ingrad] Union of Comp[osers] I played my Str[ing] Symphony, [Shostakovich] spoke up at the conference and said "Sviridov is our hope" and repeated this several more times.)
- As for ALT1, here's the quote with translation:
—CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)Одной из причин того, что она выпала из поля зрения исследователей, стал тот факт, что после 1943 г. симфония покинула концертный репертуар. [...] Тем не менее симфония не была забыта автором. [...] Вполне очевидно, что Георгий Васильевич хотел дать своему незаслуженно забытому сочинению новую жизнь. Это произошло в 2000 г., уже после кончины композитора. 28 июня 2000 г. в Большом зале Санкт-Петербургской филармонии с успехом прошла повторная премьера Симфонии в исполнении камерного ансамбля «Солисты Москвы» под управлением Юрия Башмета. (One of the reasons [the Symphony for Strings] fell from favor with researchers is the fact that after 1943 it was dropped from the repertoire. [...] Even so, it was not forgotten by its composer. [...] Clearly, Georgy Vasilyevich wanted to breathe new life into his unjustly forgotten work. After the composer's death this came to pass in 2000. The successful second premiere of the Symphony took place on June 28 at the Large Hall of the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia, played by the Moscow Soloists chamber ensemble conducted by Yuri Bashmet.)
