Scorpions Give Spies A Perestroika Ballad (Moscow Times)

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 19:59:11 GMT

It is a rock ballad inseparable in the popular consciousness from the collapse of the Communist bloc. But when Klaus Meine, lead singer of the Scorpions, sang "Wind of Change" at the Kremlin Palace on Thursday night, listening front and center was the man who has called the Soviet breakup the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century."
