This paper describes the life and work of Lyudmila Ivanovna Shestakova (1816–1906), the younger sister and faithful companion of the Russian composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka. The focus is especially on her activities after her brother’s death, which were motivated by the wish to honour his memory and to spread his music and fame.
