I am 55 now and I used to hear that music when I was 12 year old. I used to find the music so soothing that when ever I am emotionally down, I play this music in my imaginary mind. Today I bumped into it by chance .
Radio Moscow, calling.(Male voice) Radio Moscow, calling.(Male voice) Radio Moscow, calling.(Female voice) Hello, everyone. From now, on sunday,February 23, to begin Japanese broadcasts from Moscow. . . . This time, we will send the news, and the series of programs the fifth round, "Why there isn't inflation in the Soviet economy,". ----------------------------------------------- I'm sorry in poor English.
I saw that Japan, after its surrender and a few years of economic and social improvements, rose again, but why would it want to join the ideological cause of the decadent USSR?
Back when I was a kid Radio Moscow used to be really easy to pick up even with a cheap shortwave radio. They had a bunch of stations broadcasting 24/7. I could also pick up radio Ukraine from time to time. Shortwave with a lot more fun to listen to back then.
Peopled used to complain because Radio Moscow would be on 15 different frequencies and of course, all kinds of frequency collisions like the wild west. The good ole days of shortwave.
Sound of My Teenage life . My life was amazing I went to work every day knowing everyone had a great income no one was rich or poor I had a nice apartment I lived with Vasaya and Peta and Peta's family it was very nice living with others it gave me a chance to engage with people and I could remeber sitting down at the dinner table and eat borsht we would all talk about our days at work and we would turn on the news and the Soviet Anthem would play Then it would talk about the news and sports and in the summer in our free dacha (Summer Home) we had a lake a nice lake always nice and cool we would eat shashlik and palmani then we would have a great summer just like that Right behind the Iron Curtain In the Fall back at work we would all get a warm welcome and Communism was The best until Сука Yetslin broke Iron Curtain And Ruined the dream of the Otechestva and after that Russia became a shit pile after the Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed I really wish to go back to breznev Times .
Great times of Soviet Union. In seventies I was a teenager during Brazilian military dictatorship. I listened Moscow Radio to know more about my own country. In that time, USA supported many dictators in Latin America so that I had to listen news from USSR.
Andre Luiz Comrade u were lucky ! USSR always supported independent countries and US always supported dictatorship and evil government becoz it also happened in my own country Bangladesh .During our liberation War in 1971,Soviet Union were always supporting us and US were against us eventually they supported Pakistan .After we got our victory on 16th December,1971 JUST after two months on 2nd February, 1972 our Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman visited Soviet Union for an official meeting with Soviet president , Leonid Brezhnev and still today Russia helps us in many ways
infinitecanadian I know USSR invaded Afghanistan but did u see the communist rule in Afghanistan .It was called real democracy.There was free health care, free education,free electricity even the women were not forced to wear burqas but this heaven didn't last long when the Mujahids and Taliban started attacking Afghanistan and their biggest supporter was U.S.Just see after the collapse of the USSR ,the Mujahids started to control Afghanistan and changed it from Democratic to Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and till now there have been many wars in Afganistan and every women are forced to wear burqas and many Afghanistanis still remember their nostalgic communist past !
infinitecanadian I see u r brainwashed by American propaganda but I do respect USSR and their democracy was much better then the American "Democracy"today
WOW!!! This takes me back to my teens with an old valve radio in my bedroom. I probably spent an unhealthy amount of time in there "listening to the bands" The best thing was that when drafted to do my 2 years military service I was sent to a radio intercept unit.
I remember the first song ( "Wide is my motherland" / "Широка страна моя родная" ) listening with my father's Zenith Transoceanic M-600 in the mid-70's. I didn't understand a thing !!! It was like hearing something from a distant planet ...
I remember listening to TASS in 1990 (in Russian) despite not understanding the Russian language! All I could understand was "TASS"! I had bought a shortwave radio in 1990, not to listen to TASS, just for fun. I stumbled across TASS when tuning accidently, I thought it was so cool I could hear a radio broadcast from the other side of the world, in Moscow!
While in the military spying on the Soviets, we frequently tuned in to Radio Moscow just for some great laughs. Life was simpler back then. We knew who the 'enemy' was and were united as a country against them. Now, without a nemesis, we turn on each other. I miss the old days.
I was listening always this ,Radio Moscow world service, literally golden era of 70s ..that time Mr. Gorbachev was the president of Soviet union of great Russia....!!!
Multiple issues: 1. He first became secretary-general aka the boss in 1985, so no seventies; 2. the SU included Russia and many other states, not that those other states had much to say at all on their own, we colloquially referred to them as Russians but the real power was with the Soviet leadership, before it collapsed.
I always had a shortwave radio as a kid (still do too) and would listen to Radio Moscow English language broadcast. It was interesting for sure. There were the same musical chimes too.
When I was high school boy back in 1975, I was BCL listner and enjoyed to listen this. Also I listened their local radio station like Radio Mayak, etc. During cold war time, all of overseas radio was influenced by ideology, like KBS, Radio Pyongyang, Voice of free Chine, etc. Now... very peaceful world!
Such a shame such stations I listened to since the early 1980,s went off the short wave the fruqency is dead and overseas radio went downhill since 1987
@MrViTopol No, the foreign service radio broadcasts never stopped. Soon after the collapse of the USSR, Radio Moscow World Service was renamed the Voice of Russia, and today it is known as the World Service of the Voice of Russia.
Two voices I remember hearing - I had a medium wave transistor radio- what they used to call a tranny - that picked up Radio Moscow - two of the names I remember, but didn’t hear properly - were (I think - forgive me if I spelt them wrong) - Karl Yigorov and Zena Levitshova (sounded like that!) and a DX programme presented by someone called Paul Koznutsov (please correct the spelling, if it’s wrong! I have transliterated it from Cyrillic!
