披头士震撼克里姆林宫

Documentary which tells the extraordinary unknown story of how the Beatles helped to destroy the USSR.


　　In August 1962, director Leslie Woodhead made a two-minute film in Liverpool's Cavern Club with a raw and unrecorded group of rockers called the Beatles. He arranged their first live TV appearances on a local show in Manchester and watched as the Fab Four phenomenon swept the world.


　　Twenty-five years later while making films in Russia, Woodhead became aware of how, even though they were never able to play in the Soviet Union, the Beatles' legend had soaked into the lives of a generation of kids. This film meets the Soviet Beatles generation and hears their stories about how the Fab Four changed their lives, including Putin's deputy premier Sergei Ivanov, who explains how the Beatles helped him learn English and showed him another life.


　　The Soviet authorities were alarmed by the seditious potential of rock and roll, with the Beatles a special target and denounced as 'bugs' in official papers. Their smuggled records were destroyed and their music was banned, but the myth blossomed as bootlegs and photos were covertly traded and even rented amongst fans.


　　Soon there were thousands of rock bands across the USSR, trying to make music with crude home-made guitars. Speakers on lampposts installed to broadcast propaganda were grabbed by rock hopefuls, while reports that an electric pickup could be cannibalised from a telephone led to phone boxes being raided and disabled.


　　Millions of young people fell in love with the Beatles and the culture of the Cold War enemy, and defected emotionally from the Soviet system. The Beatles prepared the cultural way for the fall of the Berlin Wall and ultimately helped to wash away the foundations of that system.

披头士摇滚克里姆林史。耳熟之处：20世纪80年代末，约瑟夫·科布松唱俄语版《Hey Jude》；2003年5月，保罗·麦卡特尼在莫斯科红场上唱响《Back in the U.S.S.R.》。

建Beatles Temple的大爷可爱！毛版翻唱超土味，可爱！还有多骨碟，一本满足

以披头士为代表的“west pollution ”如何征服苏联的年轻人，带领他们看到自由、自我和希望，进一步瓦解苏联共产主义的故事。

不愧是战斗民族。软软的黑胶，街头藏毒式的交易，拆了propaganda用的广播和电话接收器自制电音吉他…太猎奇了…以及感叹一下俄罗斯人民的艺术素养高到不知道哪里去了，美声唱法的let it be，俄罗斯大叔拿起一个空的汽油桶就拍起手鼓唱起歌来…以及我相信好的音乐是有魔法的。

the charming of the Beatles shocked everyone

前苏联把披头士的歌刻录到废弃的X光片上偷偷进行传播。秒

感觉明里暗里在黑苏联，都又没法说错。哎，自己作呗。(PS.披头士的版权为什么那么贵啊……

用x光片录bootleg真的好可爱，音乐和自由让人无所畏惧吧

还好。不算深刻，意识形态偏向挺严重。（终于他妈的翻译完了。）
