I know it was several days ago.
But it was Gorbachev who started 'Glasnost', and it was during this time that Beatles records became available to people in the Soviet Union.
More than somewhat related, I've often wondered what the real conversation between Paul and Vladimir was like when Paul visited and played in Russia...assuming it was more than "I know you," "Yeah? Well, I know you too."
Supposedly, Macca asked Putin if he had been a Beatles fan in his youth, and Putin said 'The music was very popular, like a breath of fresh air, a window into the outside world'..
That didn't really answer Paul's question, did it? They can't be too buddy-buddy. Macca has been displaying the Ukrainian flag at his recent shows.
