List of bands that were banned from the USSR in 1985
Surprised to not see Metallica on the list. If you have a chance, watch their 1991 performance in Moscow on Youtube (Here).
Coming just after the fall of the Soviet Union, the concert drew a crowd estimated between 500,000 and 1.6 million people.
With Soviet soldiers standing guard, the crowds of young Russians headbanged to "Enter Sandman" as helicopters fly back and forth from above.
Legend has it that people are still leaving the concert...

С 1941 по 1943 Союзники профинансировали СССР по программе Лэнд-лиза на ДВАДЦАТЬ МИЛЛИАРДОВ долларов
Учитывая, что курс доллара 1941 года примерно эквивалентен 22 долларам 2026 года, то по современным подсчётам СССР имел долг перед США в 440 миллиардов долларов, которые правопреемник в лице существующей пока что террористической "Россий Федерации", так и не был полностью выплачен. Но любой руZZистский "патриот" расскажет, разрывая грязный ватник на груди, что "СэСэР выйграл вАйну Адин"

On 23 March 2026, Ambassador of Russia to South Africa Roman Ambarov attended a Day of Reflection on Resistance and Liberation Heritage in commemoration of the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale at Freedom Park in Pretoria.
The keynote address was delivered by Deputy Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture of South Africa, Hon. Ms Peace Mabe. Among the participants were Hon. Ms Nomvula Mokonyane, First Deputy Secretary-General of the African National Congress, as well as heads of diplomatic missions from Cuba, Angola, and Namibia, ANC representatives, and veterans of the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale.
🎙 Addressing the participants, Ambassador Roman Ambarov emphasized that the Battle of #CuitoCuanavalewasa turning pointof the Civil War in Angola.
The victory of the People’s Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola contributed directly to the peace process in Namibia and helped pave the way for the eventual liberation of South Africa.
“Cuito Cuanavale became a symbol of resistance against oppression. It demonstrated that even in the face of overwhelming force, the determination of people fighting for their rights cannot be defeated. It was here that the tide began to turn - not only in Angola, but across the region.
The role played by the Soviet Union in supporting Angola during this difficult period remains an important part of this history. Through the various means of assistance and political support, it contributed to strengthening the defence of Angola’s sovereignty. Soviet advisers worked alongside Angolan and Cuban forces, sharing knowledge, resources, and a belief in a just cause.
But what truly defined this moment was solidarity to fight together against the colonial yoke. It was the understanding that the struggle of one people is the concern of all humanity. The fight in Angola echoed the voices of those resisting apartheid in South Africa and colonial rule in Namibia. It was one struggle, fought on many fronts,” the Russian Ambassador said.
As part of the event, Roman Ambarov laid wreath to the Russian section of the Wall of Names in memory of Soviet military specialists who participated in conflicts in Southern Africa.
ℹ️ The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale (August 1987 – March 1988) was a decisive engagement of the Angolan Civil War and a crucial step in the struggle for independence of the countries of Southern Africa from colonialism and apartheid. During the battle, the People’s Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola backed by #USSR, #Cuba, People’s Liberation Army of #Namibia, African National Congress (#ANC) and others defeated the combatants of the Angolan “UNITA” party and the racist regime of the Republic of South Africa supported by the US.

Продолжение истории: «Папина авторучка», холст, акрил, 150х55, Doping Pong, 2023
«Папа, у меня все хорошо, но как можно скорее пришли мне свою авторучку! Ту самую, с женщиной…» - написал мальчик в записке, которую передал в Ленинград с первой же оказией.
Ручка была необходима как физическое доказательство реальности всех тех историй о необычайном мире запредельного - о загранице и зарубежной массовой культуре - которыми щедро делился наш герой с соседями по палате после отбоя.
О космической саге про рыцарей джедаев, странствующих по далеким галактикам, о музыкантах группы, подлинных лиц которых никто не видел, об удивительном актере, боевым навыкам которого нет равных… и многом другом, упоительно прекрасном и недоступном. И в ожидании послания от отца он рисовал в воображении, как изумятся его товарищи, увидев своими глазами волшебную авторучку.
Но папа просьбу своего отпрыска оставил без ответа…
