Why is there so much Russian influence with the PSB?
I mean these four things come to mine
1) Battleship Potemkin
2) Live 8 Moscow
3) Go west video
4) A red letter day

There are loads more - My October Symphony, Gorbachev giving them some award and A Red Letter Day spring to mind...
Neil is supposed to be fairly well read in his Russian history.

Isn't 'Sliver Age' something to do with Russia? Only ever listened to the song once or twice before...

I think it has to do with Neil stealing his dad's Vodka stack when he was a toddler.
The evil communist juice has yet to be urinated.

Just judging by some of his frases in interviews and Q&A
How could you learn about Russian History in Russia then? Short of travelling back in time, you'll only ever experience history through second hand sources.

can't imagine Russia ever had, or indeed has, the most honest open teachings in relation to other countries

They recorded a choir in Moscow for A Red Letter Day, or at least Neil did Chris was at the Bruno v Tyson fight in Vegas.
