The Symphony No. 3 in B minor by the Ukrainian composer Borys Lyatoshynsky (Ukrainian: Бори́с Миколáйович Лятоши́нський; ) was completed in 1951, with the final movement themed "Peace will conquer war." The symphony was first performed in Kyiv on 23 October 1951, by the Kyiv Philharmonic, conducted by Natan Rakhlin. Criticised by the Soviet authorities on ideological grounds, the composer was forced to rework the symphony, and to remove the subtitle of the finale. The first performance of the revised version took place in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) in 1955.
