Editing Prince Igor (section)

== Popular culture ==
In the American musical ''[[Kismet (musical)|Kismet]]'' (1953), most of the score was adapted from works by Borodin. Themes from the [[Polovtsian Dances]] from ''Prince Igor'' were used extensively and the "Gliding Dance of the Maidens" provided the melody for the popular hit song "[[Stranger in Paradise (song)|Stranger in Paradise]]".

In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[Simpson Tide]]", the Boyars' Chorus (Act 1, Scene 2) plays while tanks emerge from parade floats during a peace parade on Red Square in front of Saint Basil's, soldiers walk out of a building, the Berlin Wall re-erects itself out of the ground, and Lenin rises from his grave, saying "Rrr! Must Crush Capitalism, Rrr!".  The "Gliding dance of the Maidens" is also played during the Valentine's Day Itchy and Scratchy cartoon featured in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[I Love Lisa]]".

Musical quotations from the Polovtsian Dances can be heard: 
* in [[Warren G]]'s 1997 hit "[[Prince Igor (song)|Prince Igor]]", and in the track "[[Echoes (Pink Floyd song)|Echoes]]" on [[Pink Floyd]]'s 1971 album, "[[Meddle]]"
