[[ImageBerkas:Shostakovichtimecover.jpg|thumb|right|Wartime propaganda images of Shostakovich as a fire warden reached as far as the American [[Time (magazine)|Time magazine]].]]On the outbreak of [[Eastern Front (WWII)|war between Russia and Germany]] in 1941, Shostakovich initially remained in Leningrad during the [[Siege of Leningrad|siege]], when he wrote the first three movements of his [[Symphony No. 7 (Shostakovich)|Seventh Symphony]] (nicknamed ''Leningrad''). He also contributed to propaganda efforts, posing as a fire warden and delivering a radio broadcast to the Soviet people ''{{Audio|ShostakovichRadio1941.ogg|listen}}''. In October 1941, the composer and his family were evacuated to Kuybishev (now [[Samara, Russia|Samara]]), where the symphony was completed. It was adopted as a symbol of Russian resistance both in the USSR and in the West.
 
In spring 1943 the family moved to [[Moscow]]. Whilst the Seventh Symphony depicts a heroic (and ultimately victorious) struggle against adversity, the [[Symphony No. 8 (Shostakovich)|Eighth Symphony]] of that year is perhaps the ultimate in sombre and violent expression within Shostakovich's output, resulting in it being banned until [[1960 in music|1960]]. The [[Symphony No. 9 (Shostakovich)|Ninth Symphony]] (1945), in contrast, is an ironic Haydnesque parody, which failed to satisfy demands for a "hymn of victory". Shostakovich continued to compose chamber music, notably his [[Piano Trio No. 2 (Shostakovich)|Second Piano Trio]] (Op. 67), dedicated to the memory of Sollertinsky, with a bitter-sweet, Jewish themed ''[[totentanz]]'' [[finale]].

<blockquote>"Target achieved so far: 75% (right leg broken, left leg broken, right hand defective. All I need to do now is wreck the left hand and then 100% of my extremities will be out of order.)"<ref>Glikman p. 147.</ref></blockquote>
A preoccupation with his own mortality permeates much of Shostakovich's later works, among them the later quartets and the [[Symphony No. 14 (Shostakovich)|Fourteenth]] Symphony of 1969 (a song cycle based on a number of poems concerning the theme of death). The subject matter of this work also coincides with Shostakovich at his most extreme in terms of musical language, with twelve note themes being used throughout as well as dense polyphony. The [[Symphony No. 15 (Shostakovich)|Fifteenth]] Symphony of 1971 is, by contrast melodic and retrospective in nature, quoting from [[Richard Wagner|Wagner]], [[Gioacchino Rossini|Rossini]] and the composer's own Fourth Symphony.

Shostakovich died of [[lung cancer]] on [[August 9]] [[1975]] and after a civic funeral was interred in the [[Novodevichy Cemetery]], [[Moscow, Russia|Moscow]]. The official obituary did not appear in [[Pravda]] until three days after his death, apparently because the wording had to be approved at the highest level, by [[Brezhnev]] and the rest of the [[Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee|Politburo]].<ref>[http://english.mn.ru/english/issue.php?2005-31-23 Moscow News N49 2005], accessed [[23 December]] [[2005]].</ref> Even before his death he had been commemorated in the naming of the Shostakovich [[Peninsula]] on [[Alexander Island]], [[Antarctica]].
