I just watched on A&E a special of "Paul McCartney live in Red Square," and the Minister of Defense Sergei Ivanov stated that when he was 10 and he first heard the Beatles, it was them who inspired him to learn English. This made me recall what wolk_off had said about him learning English through The Beatles as well. So I was just wondering, how many Russians out there had The Beatles as an inspiration for learning English?

It's that time of the month/random moment of time where I've read a fairy tale and have questions about the ever-boggling language that is Russian. This time, my reading has gone from a series of little really children books called Планета Детства to Путешествие в сказку (They mention a website, see if it's any good www.strekoza.ru ) and this time, these stories are about 20 pages long with just a picture here and there. It's death for me, needless to say. Anywho, here are my preguntas.
