Of the many Cold War radio DJs who broadcast to the USSR, Seva
Novgorodsev must be near the top of the list. A masterful BBC
presenter, Seva was considered a sage of rock ‘n’ roll. His
programs introduced forbidden western popular music and culture
into the USSR, rendering him an “enemy voice” and ideological
saboteur to the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Despite
KGB threats and constant media pillorying, Seva remained on the air
for 38 years, acquiring millions of listeners all across the
breadth of the USSR and beyond. He became a cult phenomenon,
dismantling the Soviet way of life in the hearts and minds of
youth. This is the story of Russia’s first and best-known DJ.
