CHANGING TIMES: In July 1989, RFE/RL's Russian Service played host to Russian writer and satirist ALEKSANDER ZINOVEV. The author, who had lived in Germany for more than a decade since being stripped of his Soviet citizenship, read excerpts from his new works, including "Temptation," a look at a life in a fictional Russian town under perestroika. Joining him were singer Larisa Kuznetsova and actor Yulian Panich.
