And I do not want to start political discussion here. Those communists rules and ideas and the way they handle mass media and human rights… Just forget it.

I saw yesterday a program on TV which was called "Les Beatles à l'assaut du Kremlin "
It was very interesting to find out how the Beatles saved the russians from the communist propaganda (no political fights please )
Young people couldn't buy the Beatles's records because it was forbidden so they began to record it from Radio Luxembourg and then trade and print some from the tapes in recording studios.
Unfortunately there aren't subheadings ....
When did the Stones went in St Petersbourg ? Did they give other shows in the Russian federation ?
