Red Flag put "Russian Radio" out as a single in 1988, and the British-American synth-pop duo later gave it a home on their 1989 album Naïve Art. Issued through Enigma, it followed "Broken Heart" and came before "If I Ever", and it found its people on the dancefloor, peaking at No. 11 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart.
The 12-inch mixes lean into the Soviet theme right down to their names: a Glasnost Club Mix that stretches past seven minutes, a Radio Moscow Edit, a Razormaid Club Mix and a Tremont and Webster Mix. It's sleek, chilly synth-pop cut to measure for the club.
