The creative activity of variety artists, who were evacuated during the Great Patriotic War in the rear areas of the USSR, e.g. Bashkiria, made a signifi cant contribution to the military-supporting activity, to the concert service of the front and the rear. The fruitful cooperation was developed with the support of local concert organizations and
theatre companies, which enriched the cultural life of the wartime. Based on the materials, collected from the departmental archives of the Bashkir State Philharmonic Society, about life and activity of Leningrad variety artists, the author reveals and studies facts from the military biographies of famous Soviet musicians Simon Kagan and
John Dunker and their concert work in Bashkortostan and in the army in 1942–1944. The paper generalizes information about the artists’ pre-war and post-war creative biographies, analyzing their contribution to the history of the Soviet variety art in late 1920’s and 1950’s.
