I saw this film over the summer and told all my Russian friends about it, all of whom were born in the USSR. Several of their parents had grown up with the Beatles or are at least Boomers and remember the infiltration of American pop culture in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. Wonderful slice of history that has been largely kept under wraps. Thank you to Leslie Woodhead and PBS for bringing this to the public. Where can I buy a copy of the DVD?

As an exchange student in Leningrad in 1980, I hung out several times at Kolya Vasin's place: I still have photos of me and my friends, both American and Russian, surrounded by all the Beatles memorabilia. I'd attach the pics if I knew how! Great documentary.

I definitely would like to acquire a copy of this DVD as soon as it is placed on the market.

Perhaps there might've been some room for that in the film, or were there too many such occurrences to even start mentioning?
