My dear Gargoyle:
I share you and your Dutch friends concerns. The song about which our friend asks, was written in the days before Yeltzin and proposes that we think twice about the cold war, as the Russians suffered greatly, on the same side as the us in the song, Enland and the US. Billy Bragg performed it in Moscow during the early days of the Gorbachev years, as well as a song called Help Save the Youth of America, which he introduced by saying it is about how the young generation is ignored by those in power, and could equally be called Help Save the Youth of the Soviet Union - for which he got great chears from the Russian audience. Oh, those were hopefull days for change in Russia...
Unfortunately, we carried the cold war on to the point of destroying the potential that a progressive Marxism could emerge under Gorbachev, and did, in fact empower that Russian facism that your friend and I are worried about.
All the best, ol Gargoyle
