The above article was published in 2014, and a full translated list in the 2015 article [Wayback/Archive] The Soviet Union Creates a List of 38 Dangerous Rock Bands: Kiss, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Village People & More (1985) | Open Culture.

Via [Wayback/Archive] David: “Een selectie van bands en artiesten waarvan werd gezegd dat ze in de Sovjet-Unie verboden waren voordat deze uiteenviel.” — Bluesky
