Radio Moscow

"Radio Moscow Doesn´t Believe in Tears" was a saying used by some listeners who had to put up with their dull programs such as "What is Communism" and "Science and Engineering." These guys were the experts in dishing out the propaganda. They had no shame. I remember tuning in one night after the Chernobyl disaster believing I would hear something spectacular. Instead, it was a program about the glorious Soviet victories of World War II. The station is now called the Voice of Russia World Service. "Jolly" Joe Adamov for six decades was a recognizable voice reading and answering listeners letters. Sadly, he passed away on Dec. 21, 2005, according to the VOR. My "fat Russian women" QSL is from 1976.
