Benji99 commented on MBS-2661:
------------------------------

One way to avoid confusion would be to add (historical 1589 to 1890) or something (made up the dates) to Russia
I think Russia and Prussia as well as other Ex-European countries will be important because the classical composers who mostly stemmed from Europe.

> In the country attribute for artists, there is only Russian Federation, which (If I'm correct, I'm no expert of Russian history) is only valid after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. (According to Wikipedia: The Russian Federation was founded following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991)
> Russia should therefore also be added
> Prussia should also be added (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussia)
