radio moscow was well known in dx circles for playing the solumn music even before I think the official announcement was made of the death of state leaders....... Certainly after the ann was made at any rate.
It was a common trick on Soviet radio/TV. Anytime there was a major event (invasions, Chernobyl or the death of a leader) Play classical music while the broadcasters (and their KGB handlers) decide what to say.
