November 22nd, 1985. ABC Eyewitness News brings us this segment shortly after President Reagan’s summit meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
“This agreement will also expand the opportunities for Americans to experience the Soviet peoples rich cultural heritage, because their artists and academics will be coming here..”
Could the Beach Boys be sent to the USSR? The segment moves on to a study of Soviet Rock with music videos made in Moscow, starting with ‘The Old New Year’. We also hear from Natasha Lance of Columbia University who previously studied in Leningrad.
An interesting 1980s look at America and the USSR finding ways to keep the peace.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
