The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Their huge popularity became known as “Beatlemania”. The main songwriters were Lennon and McCartney.

“Back in the U.S.S.R.” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles and the first track of the 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as the “White Album”). Written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership, the song is a parody of Chuck Berry’s “Back in the U.S.A.” and the Beach Boys’ “California Girls”. The lyrics subvert Berry’s patriotic sentiments about the United States, as the narrator expresses relief upon returning home to the Soviet Union (officially named Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – USSR).
