Moscow —
Vandals damaged a grand piano at Spaso House, the residence of the U.S. ambassador in Moscow, hours before a Jewish “refusenik” sat down to give a concert, a U.S. Embassy spokesman said today.
One string was cut, three were bent and two others were untuned Sunday before Vladimir Feltsman was due to give a recital of Liszt music, he said. Feltsman, 34, said tires on his car were slashed the last two times he played at the residence.
