How The Beatles Rocked The Kremlin
In Soviet Russia, the Beatles’ music inspired some to build their own guitars and start their own bands, while the government was inspired to go into the bootleg record business. The effects of the Beatles generation are felt today as Leslie Woodhead investigates a little known element of The Beatles’ legacy.

Joseph Matthews travels to Moscow to examine what exactly is this socialist dream his grandparents were such ardent fans of when he was a child. He encounters everyday Russians who carry the Communist legacy close to their hearts in spite of huge change and freedom.
