Click on the headline to see the first decent song I have heard in Russia. It's by a lady call Nyusha & the song is Chudo. The video appears to be a scary porno version of Cirque du Soleil but it's a start.
It is noticeable that the further East you go from Britain & Ireland the worse the music gets. Maybe it has something to do with the speed of sound. French music is merde, German songs are sheisse, Disco Polo in Poland ish pish (as Sir Sean Connery would say)
So by the time you get to the Ukraine you can barely hear Led Zeppelin, U2 & Snow Patrol. I think they are only just beginning to hear the Beatles & the Stones in Vladivostok. But their music might be muffled by the proximity of Karaoke from Japan.
