Reinhold Glière

Born in 1875 to German father and Russian-Polish mother, in Kiev. His original name in baptismal certificate was Reingold Ernst Glier. He later misspelled his name as Glière on purpose because he did not want to be labeled as German at the time of the wars against Germany (WWI and WWII). However, he used his original name spelling in all Russian publications - Reingold Glier.
