March 21st, 1991. Geraldo Rivera’s namesake talk show looks at the state of mating and dating behind the Iron Curtain.
“..showed a side of Soviet women never exposed before in the west. We’ll meet one of the Russian models who will give the bare facts of baring it all..”
After an introduction we meet Svetlana before Yakov Smirnoff is brought on stage to great applause. Yakov gives us the details of matrimonial love making in the Soviet Union. Later in the segment talk turns to cultural changes related to Perestroika, as things become much more open after previous repression of homosexual tendencies. Returning to the studio these issues are discussed with the panel.
The fighting going on in the Soviet Union at this time is mentioned.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
