'''''Smolensk''''' (Смоленск) is a city and the administrative centre of Smolensk district (Смоленский район) and Smolensk oblast (Смоленская область) in the Russian Federation. <br />

During Tchaikovsky's lifetime it formed part of the Smolensk district (Смоленский уезд) and Smolensk province (Смоленская губерния) of the Russian Empire.<br />
<br />
==Tchaikovsky in Smolensk==<br />
Tchaikovsky visited Smolensk on 20 May/1 June 1885 to attend the unveiling of a monument to the composer [[Mikhail Glinka]], where he saw "a huge confluence of famous people", and did not have "one minute of freedom or quiet" throughout the proceedings <ref name="note1"/>. He left the following day, missing the rest of the festivities. <br />
<br />
At one of the concerts given in Smolensk as part of these festivities Tchaikovsky's overture-fantasia ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' was performed at the request of [[Glinka]]'s elderly sister, Lyudmila Shestakova (1816-1906) <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
