So, this means Chris Rea.... Крисе Ри ....in Russian.
I'd say Russians feel this way correct though it's pronounced 'Chrees-eh Ree'.
The form Крис Риа would be better (Chrees Ree-ah). Actually Крис Рeа is written on the T-shirt (pronounced Reh-ah).

Well, to learn the language you'll have to learn Cyrillic first
(name of the alphabet)
By the way that's a good site with great pix on it, I've discovered before.
If you had lived in Hungary you'd have been perfect in Russian... it's been an obligatory subject for 35 years. I fortunately am much younger so my generation was already free from it. Don't get me wrong, we only have a kinda 'interesting' relationship with the Russians.
Anyway, I picked up a bit of it from my parents. And here's the alphabet if you want to begin practising

Thanks for the alphabet Chris! I will learn something before the day is over!
I noticed how much Chris Rea loved the Russians, on TRTHAB, and how disappointed he was about their "Americanization" looking at Red Square from his hotel window.
He also talked about the acoustics on the Kremlin Palace, how "you can't even hear a buzz to know whether your amp is on". This particular video of Josephine (the whole concert really!) was taped very muffled, if you ask me, and the guitars amps should have been much louder!!
I'm extracting the video and sound from these songs, to see if I can bring the guitars solos "to the front" with the equalizer, if it works, then I'll post the videos again,
