Hello my friends, It's been a long road, that's for sure!

Then the translator shall correct it: Well I am the official Russian translator on this forum so I'll do my job: On the 20th of june, in the day of his St Petersburg concert, the ex-beatle Paul McCartney did a live interview on channel 1 on the show "Vremena". Aftwards the transcript appeared on www.1tv.ru where it was published with other news. It's great news for the thousands of fans of the composer who weren't able to watch it on tv that day. You could read what Macca said before the start of the concert on the website archive. Paul McCartney: I came here to talk to you about love. I love Russia. I think that it's a great country. It used to be a big riddle (mystery) for us on the west when we grew up. But now it's nice to be here, I like russian history, the people, the buildings and the living contidions. I believe that it's good.. Moscow and St Petersburg. They're the only cities where I've been. These cities are wonderful and I love the Russian people a lot. Interviewer: You wrote "Back in the USSR". Please compare your thoughts about the USSR then to today's Russia. Maybe you'll write the song "Back in Russia"? McCartney: When I wrote "Back in the USSR", it was in the days when there was the so called "iron curtain" where little was known about Russia or about their people. But we heard that the people there love the Beatles music, and it was an honor for us. We thought, that it was amazing to be known by the people who we don't know, and we always liked it. Because of that our feelings were always similar to the riddle. We never knew what Russia was, we were never there and I thought it was a good idea to write a song from a British or American point of view, from a person who would be going back to Russia. It was important for the people to know that Russia is not a mysterious country, but a wonderful one. I based the song on Chuck Berry's "Back to the US" and i thought it was funny to replace USSR with US. We tried to add humor to it since it was a serious situation and so the Russian people and the people in the West would have good feelings about the USSR. Note 4: In the waiting of the Anti-Soviet reactions. How dirty was the clean (honest) question added: "Compare...". The wonderful answer of Paul where he lets you understand that he's asking if you want him to say something bad about the USSR? Won't work. Otherwise it will be: "for the people to see that Russia, it's a mysterious place, a wonderful country, and the people of Russia and the West should see that they have good relations with the USSR". That way he criticized the country where he was guesting. But that, is not mannerful. Pozner, admits, that he wanted to hear the same words from McCartney. The long years got the words "evil empire", "red dome", "chokers of rights and freedom" etc were probably in McCartney's head. This is what the interviewer had on his mind while asking Paul for the interview. The interview of McCartney is part of history of world culture, and the words of his friend John Lennon with whom they created the Beatles influence: "We went on stage, because we hated the terrible capitalistic line up. We hoped that with our concert we will force the people to think is that really how they're living?! Because we did the performances in Liverpool and Paris, Hamburg and New York, was deffinetly wonderful. But then we understood that it's not right to fight the power since we don't have all of it. We thought that our songs belong to all people, no matter what they're like. We were wrong here too. People can listen to us who are rich and have nothing to do, who go to our concerts with the newest tape players and in their suits. All leave!" There's another parental dissalowence. Father of James Paul told him more than once while growing up that he should seriously study Russian, since he was sure that it was the language of the future. McCartney remembering that only sighed, that he didn't do as his dad told him to. "Can you believe it, if I could say it, (said the composer), you know dad, I will perform on Red Square by the Lenin Mosuleum! Oh he would be proud of me". That's the main part of it, the last part had some Russian words that can't be translated, but it wasn't relevant to the topic. Finally my job comes into action... enjoy!
Ciara:
I want to learn Russian, I was wondering is it very difficult to pick up? Also any pointers on how to get started? is it the kind of language you can just learn at home yourself?
That's a tough one! I know some people who learned russian, but they have relatives who know russian to help them. You can always try to learn russian by watching russian tv shows (not sure if they get them in Ireland), some of the words are similar to english so you can learn from context. As for me, I learned german and english just by reading, watching tv shows and talking to german and english people... it's hard at first but after about 5 months I learned it.. and you will too It's great you want to learn the language!!!
