Radio - Sunday, October 20th, 2019

In the beginning of the "Notes from behind the iron Curtain" series I never thought we would do a show on the Russian scene. Alexander Herbert, author of "What About Tomorrow: An Oral History on Russian Punk" was in town at the end of September and pulled together this show based on his years of figuring out what he could on the Russian punk scene. Alex talks about Distemper and this important moment where they confront nazis on Russian radio so I added them as an opening song. Here is a download for the show.
