Note: Radio Moscow's Moscow Mailbag with Joe Adamov from 1979 (studio tape). Listening to the questions, such as the first one, makes you wonder if people sent in questions like that to hear if Joe would actually answer them, or if some questions were made up at Radio Moscow for political purposes. Probably both.
