Muscovites looked very happy

Actually a guy named Elton made a cover of Back in the USSR, in 1977, IN THE USSR.

Moscow is still waiting for freedom from Putin..

+CrankCase08 Well it's sad that I used to love Russian girls because they were so beautiful. Today, I'll be forced to shoot them because if I don't, they'll kill me. Thanks fucking crooked politics for making Russia and America enemies again. (the saddest truth is that we Americans will never get along with Russians and it's been that way since 1851. Study our history, Russian always looked at us with a bad eye even if the United States was not a superpower)

+Lenin Luna That's a load of nonsense. If anything, the case is now that it's the crooks in Washington and their allies in the mainstream media are whipping up anti-Russian and anti-Putin sentiment, whereas there is constantly a tone of rational mediation from modern Russia to the West.

Hot chicks. Loved that Brunette they had the camera on a few times.

“Ukraine girls”, Paul sang. To Putin. In Red Square. Epic. 1:31.

Me too, when I was just starting KG. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think to see it fall or to see Paul performing Back in the USSR in Red Square!

Me too absolutely loving it take care much appreciated thank you for your time I appreciate it

Ex KGB president ;) Looks not really fine :p

@@LoulouuuBlabla So what? George Bush Snr was ex-CIA.

@@CrankCase08 Thanks to the crooked FAKE NEWS, Russia is viewed as our enemy. The Military Industrial Complex, you know the one that President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned America about in his farewell speech, NEEDS an enemy or two and wars and conflicts to feed their stockholders bank accounts. And Americans are stupid and gullible as all hell by believing anything they watch on television.

@@FrannyWard It's not so different here in the UK with the mainstream media, where we get a constant barrage of "Russian aggression" and "Putin the dictator" garbage. Yet when the military budgets are compared for Russia and NATO (or even Russia and the US alone), Russia's budget is a mere fraction of the other two, that being due to the fact that it pays for the more economical defence of the country as opposed to international aggression and expansionism.

Dont really think he was rocking out and digging the scene...LOL!

Michael McGehee The lesson being: don't believe a word from the puppets and propagandists that lie on behalf of the Evil American Empire.

CrankCase08 DA! you speak like a TRUE COMRADE, Tovarisch!!

the Ukraine girls really knock me out!

+Michael McGehee Mike, I'm with you ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. Of course Russia isn't a threat to us - and probably never has been. And as for those Russian ladies.................(can't wait to be 25 again) !!!!!!

+marvinc999 You may want to ask the Ukraine and Syrian people if they feel Russia is a threat. Off course it's not the individuals it the Government.

+brachio1000 Well, I watched another video of McCartney doing "Back in the U.S.S.R." in Red Square. It was from another show, but I still didn't hear the comment. I don't think I imagined it, but I'm less sure.

yes

The guy next to him seems to be enjoying himself.

Sure is - that's Vlad the rocking lad, whom I believe is a huge Beatle fan!

You know it!

lol

I think Putin was hearing 'Back TO the USSR' and now we're in a another pushing match between Russia and it's allies and the Anglo-American world power.

@@tedlumley4470 Russia is constantly taking a position of defense whilst the Anglo-American position is aggressive.

Is that what that was when they were threatening to take over surrounding eastern European countries 🙄😂

1:31 still there. Just in Spy camo mode

Don't worry. Putin heard "Back in the USSR" and Sound of Silence as well,

Yes. I am an American and even with recent events I have no hate or dislike of the Russian people. Love is all you need.

Agreed!

Да, братец! Очень хочу чтобы Россия вернулась. Открытая миру и дружелюбная. Путин сидел с Макаревичем. Эх… А сейчас Макаревич в изгнании, а Путин главный фашист на планете

@@user-xc7vm3gs7n Yes sir. I love Russia, I'm gonna visit at least St. Petersburg before I die. I love any cultural/art city.

It's not humanity that's forgotten. It's Putin who decided on a different path, sadly. He could stop the war with a single command, but he won't.

@@russetmantle1Maybe Putin was forced to do it? The problem we have with the Mainstream, that they try to manipulate us and influence us to think that we are the good guys and the others are the bad guys, without being more critical. By this, I don't mean that they manipulated you! We both know that war is a dirty thing and that it should be absolutely rejected. But do we want to talk about how the Ukrainian Nazis killed, starting from 2014, many civilian women, children in the Russian-speaking regions that have always existed? And who were of Russian origin and spoke? a true genocide... I also remind you that the NATO countries have been trying to surround Russia since 1989, with ever new NATO countries?? even if in 1989 an agreement was made that NATO would remain within the borders it had at that time?? can we also say that the NATO countries were also very aggressive and that Russia has every right to defend its borders and its population??

What do u mean, nobody could believe it?? I've been there . Stop watching, reading and believing this country brainwashing.. Think!!!! Stupidity equals hate....

Putin's a great leader 🥰. Cares about and loves his people.. they are one people.. Not the mixed bag of mess u see in this country.. Long live sweet poly purebred.. !!!

He was not president of Russia at this time

There's no evidence for that. The only reason he expressed regret for the fall of the USSR was that it caused widespread poverty and social collapse.

He's tryin...

@@beemrdon52 Rubbish.

Yeah putin being there hits a bit differently now...

Putin believed that Paul really was urging the audience for the return of the communism era.

So true!

@@CrankCase08 the men, have beer bellies and get fat, too. Not attractive for sure.

Most central eastern/eastern European women are. My wifes family is part eastern polish. Definitely can attest they're beautiful :)

Volodymyr Zelenskyy doesn’t like your comment

Seeing that russian flag combined with the british and the happy russian people dancing gives me hope. I'm sure this is what the future will look like, it's just a matter of time..

They conquered the world long before February 1964.You Americans discovered them late but, as usual, think the whole world revolves around you.

Oh Gawd ! They didn't start with the USA, they ended with the USA !!! Capitol Records would not release the Beatles songs in the US, for perceived lack of interest for a US audience. The rest of the world had full-on Beatlemania by the time they finally showed up on the Ed Sullivan Show in '64. Only then did you get with the program.

When you think the song is around 50 years old - is it on the White Album, I can’t remember - will have to check mine.

Lucky for Russians that the useless drunken oaf and Washington lackey Yeltsin is no longer President. They have a good one now.

@@morgenholz7937 Not really. The fact is that when Putin ascended to the Presidency in 2000, Russia was a complete basket case and heavily in debt, and he turned it all round, thus managing to rise the country up to 7th place in the international economic league table by 2007. That would suggest Putin to be a very good president, and the reason why he and his United Russia Party continually receive large majorities in elections.

@@morgenholz7937 It's the best Russia has had so far. It's a big, difficult country, and the economic hostility it receives from the West is clearly hindering further progress.

I was at his July 2019 show in Vancouver. He was lip synching it on that night SMH!

@@ashleyboorman4856 some woman judge a man on wealth rather then age........

+Professor John Dunn Actually, it was written in India in February 1968, when the Beatles were attending a retreat at the ashram of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India. Along with close members of their entourage, the Beatles were accompanied by others such as Donovan and the Beach Boys Mike Love. It is often considered a tribute to Back In The USA by Chuck Berry, but it is more a parody of all the songs written by American artists praising life the US. The Beatles had spent quite a bit of time in the US by 1968, and given that it was the height of the Vietnam War, and there were mass anti-war protests not just all over America but also in London (and Paris) at the time, both Lennon and McCartney considered these songs by US artists more than a little self-serving and somewhat sickly. It was during the retreat in India that McCartney and Lennon got into a conversation with Mike Love, in which they were dismissive of such songs, observing that they conveyed a misleadingly tranquil & saccharin image of American life. It was observed by Lennon and McCartney that the Beach Boys were major culprits of this genre of music, and boasted that the Beatles could write something equally self-serving about the UK or indeed about any country, for that matter. Informal and good-natured competition between the Beatles and the Beach Boys was at its peak, at the time. The Beatles arrival in North America in 1964 had challenged the Beach Boys chart supremacy, and as they saw how the Beatles music evolved rapidly into ever more avant grade territory, the Beach Boys had responded. The release of the Beatles album Rubber Soul on 3 December 1965, had been followed by the Beach Boys with Pet Sounds some six months later (released: 16 May 1966). Indeed, the release of Rubber Soul directly caused Brian Wilson to change course with Pet Sounds (which was already a work in progress, at that moment), delaying its release beyond the original target of Christmas 1965. The Beatles next brought out the album Revolver (released: 5 August 1966), before following this with Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (released: 1 June 1967). The next Beach Boys album was Smiley Smile, which was not released until 18 September 1967. Ironically, Smiley Smile was better received in the UK than in the US, peaking at no. 2 in the UK album charts (versus only no. 9 in the US). On 22 November 1967, the Beatles released The Magical Mystery Tour (whilst still in shock after the death of Brian Epstein by drug overdose on 27 August the same year). The Beach Boys released Wild Honey three weeks later on 18 December. The album Friends was then released by the Beach Boys on 24 June 1968. Thus, by the time Lennon and McCartney good-naturedly gave Mike Love a hard time about the Beach Boys music genre, it was early 1968 (between the release of the Beach Boys albums Wild Honey and Friends), both Mike Love and indeed all the Beach Boys had become quite counter-cultural themselves. Accordingly, Mike Love challenged Lennon and McCartney (principally, McCartney) to make good on their boast, and to write such a self-serving song about the USSR (Americas principal opponent in the Cold War). The morning after this conversation, McCartney appeared at breakfast, and previewed the lyrics and melody of Back In The USSR for Mike Love. Love liked the song, and encouraged McCarney to include lyrics praising the beauty of the girls of the USSR, to make the parody complete. Correspondingly, Back In The USSR was released as a single and as a track on The Beatles Double White album, on 22 November 1968. You are right that there was an Im Backing Britain campaign at the time, which had to do with Britains economy being in disarray under Harold Wilsons first Labour administration. It was opposed by Britains Trades Union Council (ie the TUC), which saw it as a way for UK companies to squeeze extra work out of their employees without additional pay. But despite what it says on the Wikipedia page, the Im Backing Britain campaign thus had nothing to do with the composition of Back In the USSR by the Beatles. It should be noted that the link between the two in Wikipedia is made without any attribution to reference or source material, and has been contradicted both by Paul McCartney and by numerous biographies of the Beatles. And no such link between the two is made on the Wikipedia page devoted to the Beatles Double White album, either.

+Professor John Dunn Actually it was an ironic parody of Chuck Berry's 'Back in the USA' - there's no evidence to back your claim.

+Nick Donnelly I thought it was a parody on the beach boys California Girls. Comparing women in different parts of the USSR. Similar to the beach boys in their California Girls song.

unfortunately,there are still morons around who are incapable of constructive comments,as you demonstrate,sir

Dave Johnson It's all history, established as fact - just look it up, if you don't believe me. :)

Actually they do. You’re all so limited in what your media feeds you 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fucked up Russia. 30 percent of the households don `t have running water. That is fucked up Russia today

..you couldn't be more right..

He doesn’t want to bring back the USSR. Putin is quite right wing. He doesn’t want to bring back that attempted communist economic and bureaucratic systems again. But does he want to bring back the glory of the Imperial Russian days…yes. I imagine he sees himself more as a czar, then as a general secretary.

+Cristal Lachesis Really don't know about The Beatles, but Queen was allowed in USSR.

Yep. It was illegal though so they did it through smuggled bootlegs.

@@coldwar45 really wasnt. My dad is russian and he has told me stories about how he had a record player and would listen to the beatles casually durring the ussr time period

In georgia(country) it was illegal but people were listening it....

they made illegal copies of the vinyls which were often done on the older x-ray films instead of the real vinyl discs, so it's been called 'music on the bones' you can look it up

Ha ha - brilliant!

Haha! I agree totally!!!
