Did he die in the West?

(and for the sake of clarity let's define the West as the 1st World US aligned nations prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991)
Yes

Three questions remain

Oh. So his mother tongue was a Slavic language but he died in the West.

Was he a painter or a musician (including a music composer)?

No

Hint/clarification - he did compose music but composition or playing an instrument is not what you would primarily associate with this person.

Not using up the last question here, but maybe he was some sort of cosmonaut or chess player who defected.

But he WAS a painter or musician by profession, right? If he was e.g. a journalist who played piano as a hobby, or occasionally composed music, you would have answered NO to q. 18, right? (I think you should answer no in that case.) Please answer this comment only if you intend not to count it as an official question - it is not a new question, just a request for clarification about a previous one.

He is strongly and professionally associated with music and has composed but composition is not for what he is remembered.

Free guess: is it Arthur Rubinstein?

(btw, if we had some more questions, I would ask if he was Jewish, or at least 50% Jewish)

Nice guess apart from where he doesn't fit.

I feel like "Russian or soviet artist who is buried in the West" is like 90% likely to be Jewish...

No. Did he compose any music?

Interestingly a week after the incident I was walking near Bush House in Aldwych central London (I was studying at King's College London) and was asked by the police had I noticed anything strange the previous week. I hadn't.

Obviously not. I won't count.

I said not known for playing a musical instrument!

Ok, if he is strongly and professionally associated with music but he is not primarily known for:
- composition
- playing an instrument
then maybe he's a vocalist? (Not an official question)
