Thanks to Rissan for all these, for Cold war songs specifically.

Ironically, when compiling similar volumes, completely forgotten by all is the absolute (ABSOLUTE!!!) Cold war hit - CHRIS DE BURGH's Moonlight and vodka:

"this dancing girl is making eyes at me
sure she is working for the KGB...."

I know the song, and it is in my list of cold war 80's songs. But he's not so unknown 80's....
But I can add him in a future volume.

So, you want to continue, great!! Cold war and Berlin wall themes were of my huge interest some 30 years ago....

By the way, Kino track is the famous perestroika anthem, not a cold war themed song, it is about freedom of expression, not about damn capitalism and nuke attacks)) It became known thanks to ASSA, a famous perestroika detective movie with songs of then Soviet new wave stars. you may listen to this soundtrack here:

This LP was ultimate national No.1 in 1988.
