There's simply no denying the sheer historical impact of the Beatles. They are One of the most influential musical creative forces and cultural events of the modern age.
The Beatles saved my sanity. I'm not exaggerating. I was being bullied at school, and it was really horrible, but even though I never met the Beatles personally, it was as if they were my friends. I could go to my room, listen to their records, read my fan magazines, and I was happy.
1:06 The untold story of how The Beatles help to destroy communism? This is more like "How The Beatles help to destroy the complete isolation in the USSR.".
I guess The Beatles beat Ronald Reagan in taking credit for the fall of the USSR. Never believed that Reagan was the sole reason for it. Although he might have destroyed the middle class here. ;-)
+rakki realm Basically the Soviet Union after Stalin died was becoming a bit more liberal. Under Khrushchev's rule, satire and other things that would have made Stalin kill you were already made legal, as long as they weren't anti-Soviet. This liberalism paved the way for Western ideas to sweep through the Eastern Bloc. China started having the same fate in 1976, when Deng Xiaoping became leader and that was the same year when Mao died; Mao was basically this fan of Stalin and followed his tracks to lead China. It's quite surprising North Korea didn't, at the least, end up like the rest of the Eastern Bloc nowadays: under American influence. Fidel Castro was already getting pretty soft from the 2000's but North Korea still seems so authoritarian.
It is incredible how The Beatles manage to bring liberty and even hapiness to all the slavic people when the USSR was still alive, without using any agression against the USSR state, turning into the key that opened the door to the west culture for the soviet people.
Octavianus Sitorus Seriously ? You've never heard of 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' ? .... ps, incase your timing is out... it's followed by 'In My Life'.
DorianLS He was a human fool, a peasant ruling 1/6 of the world, however, better than worst. At least, Carribean crisis he created was cancelled (being a boy at that time I still remember the horror which hanged in the air). I was born in Leningrad, USSR in 1956 and still live here. My grandfather was his friend. NB. When in 1968 I first heard Beatles over heavily dumped BBC I got such shock that learnt English by myself in two years. Beatlemania in the USSR was even more powerful than in the West. Several young generations got out of mental prison of communist crap due to them. Last but not least: my son sings “With a Little Help From My friends” in this film...
рабами совка... не спорю, было закрыто, а стало то хуже. в России ещё больше бардака... пиздец, тут вообще не про битлз, тут про обсирание золотого века России... где как и везде бывала несправедливость, а стало её больше... о чём говорят...
The Beatles affected the world in many ways that no other band ever would .

It's a real shame that The Beatles couldn't help also to destroy the complete isolation in North Korea.

In the russian 70.ts 80.ts not very primitive music we have to rock bands like. kino. mashina vremeni.
In all honesty, Russians never liked Khrushchev.
Well, he was an improvement upon Stalin, wasn't he? At least he was human.
