"In January 1985, the secretary of the Communist party's youth wing in Ukraine sent out a secret list to its local committees, naming 38 "ideologically harmful" foreign groups. The information, he wrote, was provided "for the purpose of intensifying control over the activities of discotheques". The dangerous agents were, among others, Village People, Black Sabbath and Tina Turner.

Though the list described itself as "approximate", specific charges were levelled against each group. With the notable exception of Pink Floyd, few were accused of circulating anti-Soviet propaganda. Instead, Donna Summer and Tina Turner promoted "eroticism" and sex; Canned Heat homosexuality. The Village People were only charged with "violence", a label also imposed on the B-52s, Black Sabbath and the Clash. Black Sabbath was additionally dangerous for its "religious obscurantism"."
