The USSR

In 1964, when the Beatles became a huge hit, became the Fab Four, and conquered the world, the repressive old men in the USSR, in the Kremlin, tried to resist them, but were defeated by their own country, their very own children. What nobody knows, is that the Beatles helped to destroy communism.
The people of the USSR needed an alternative, an escape. So they followed the Beatles, and their different religion. They changed everything. Everyone wanted to be like them. In the video below, a man says "the Beatles it was the key that opened the door to western culture. Western culture was cultural revolution, cultural revolution destroyed Soviet Union." They were like fresh air, something new in Russia, they were the power of the people. Their music and ways freed the people of Russia and gave them something other than communism to look up to.
The Beatles' culture and influence, helped defeat the Cold War enemy.
