How We Loved The Beatles

In the 1960s, the world was swept by a wave of Beatlemania. The USSR was no exception, but the Soviet leadership did not like the youth's fascination with the ideologically foreign songs of 'The Beatles.' Our Beatlemaniacs went to great... lengths to obtain any information about their idols and hear their songs! But while Beatlemania effectively ended with the disbandment of the quartet worldwide, the love for 'The Beatles' among their Soviet fans, who were under ideological pressure, never waned. All aspects of this love are detailed in the book by Dmitry Karasyuk. It turned out to be not just a history of Beatlemania in the USSR, but also a new perspective on life in a vast country from an unusual angle.
