How Soviet Rock Failed In The West Part 1 (Introduction, Va-Bank, Radio Silence)

During Perestroika, quite a few Soviet artists tried their luck in Western countries. The success of these artists differed, but the common consensus is that the Red Wave rockers failed to generate the needed buzz in order to be taken seriously abroad. In today’s episode of The Eastern Archives, I will be going over two different stories concerning Soviet Rockstars and their new Western-friendly output. Hopefully I didn’t come off super condescending in the video and you enjoyed the experience. Part two will be even more interesting than the first in my opinion as we will be looking at the story of Zvuki Mu, Kino, Secret and other talented Soviet bands.
