Midnight in Moscow
 

I was trying to catch New Years in Moscow on the Voice of Russia, 7300 at 2100.
Broadcast in French ended at 2057, then anthem seemingly played, VOR interval
signal at 2058, no Kremlin bells at 2100, but into some kind of hymm, and man in
apparent Russian, then suddenly into English at 2102.

I think they got their feeds mixed up. Doesn't seem to be any kind of
celebration program at the moment (2104), just news.

I haven't heard the Kremlin chimes for ages on the English service of VOR.
They usually play an orchestral version of their int sig. Nice to see old
Joe Adamov has made it into another new year- he remembers the Nazis
shelling Moscow!

Hard to say whether he actually made it or not. It was a canned program. But I
certainly hope that he does or did.

I recall many a time tuning in to Moscow Mailbag just for the laughs, so many
years ago,
