This Thursday, November 12th at 7 pm, KUED will air How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin. Here's a description from Seven magazine:
Even though The Beatles never performed in Russia, their music and rebellious style had soaked into the lives of a generation of Russian kids. This film features personal stories from members of Russia's Beatles generation, who talk about how the Fab Four changed their lives, gave them hope and helped to undermine the foundations of the Soviet system.
I haven't been able to find the video online yet. If you can't watch Thursday night, check out PBS after the air date and it might be available there.
UPDATE: This was an excellent film and should be of interest to fans of The Beatles and anyone who believes in the social impact of popular music. There are some remarkable and moving stories from the Soviet era. It will be rebroadcast on Sunday the 15th at midnight.
