Because of the heavy cuts and "recomposition" at Rimsky-Korsakov's hand, Dmitri Shostakovich revised the opera based on Mussorgsky's vocal score, and it is this version of The Khovansky Affair that is usually performed today. It received its premiere on 21 February 1886 in Saint Petersburg. ...more on Wikipedia about "Khovanshchina"
