Бітлз проти совка: як комуністи воювали із західною музикою

The Beatles on X-rays. Lists of banned bands at school discos. Police raids on music lovers. This is what the USSR's ideological war against Western music looked like. The party bosses weren't afraid of nuclear weapons - they were afraid of what happens in the heads of young people when they put on headphones. And they were right. In this episode of "The Long War" with Alexei Kovzhun, we analyze how the scoop tried to ban rock 'n' roll, jazz, and even the saxophone - and why this fight was doomed from the very beginning. ——— Support Oleksiy Kovzhun's channel on MonoBase: https://base.monobank.ua/mqY4UkbXA1K1...
