Rock'n'roll in the USSR in the 1970s and 1980s was a dangerous thing. Samizdat (or secret) recordings were published on old x-rays, and new wave bands like Kino risked imprisonment to sings things like "we want change." Robert's Record Corner visits St Petersburg, Russia to talk about - and buy -- some Soviet rock at a wonderful little record store, run by Nik and Oleg. Watch to learn about Soviet greats like Kino and Vladimir Vysotsky, and learn about some Soviet musicians who lost it all while performing in the 1980s.
