Gosh very Soviet, and the concert a bit like a "rigid" eurovision must say though that I do like a big band sound. Thanks for sharing.

I can understand the differences between the soviet republics, having visited them all except Moldova ( visiting in May) and Belarus ( whenever I can).

The marked differences in the Russian Federation to me were also noticeable, away from the big cities some of the villages were like stepping back in time.

I didn't know you were from Georgia!
