Brown, D. Mikhail Glinka, 1985: p. 3 (the problem of "incorrect" sentiments in the words of some of Glinka's other vocal pieces has been solved by the provision of new texts ... one really serious case of text substitution is the wholesale re-writing of the libretto of A life for the Tsar ... now known by its original title, Ivan Susanin)
