about the impact of the Beatles that they sent a KGB agent to go "underground" at the Maharishi's ashram while the Beatles were there, disguised as a hippy. Supposedly, everyone immediately knew he was a spy, since his behavior was so blatantly phony and unhip.

Thanks for posting this video.

Heartbreaking though to see the concert in Kiev at the end, and to realize what's happening now.
