Russian MPs Protest McCartney Concert

Members of the Russian parliament are protesting a planned concert by Paul McCartney in Red Square next week. “More than 100 have signed a petition protesting at the place where the Soviet leaders Lenin, Stalin, and Brezhnev, and the pioneer cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, lie buried in Moscow being used for a rock concert which carries, they say, ‘a covert political meaning’.”
