Take a look at magnificent Moscow and lovely Leningrad during the Soviet days, when America was brainwashed into believing that Russians were all fat, depressed, draped in grey and starving, dying to leave the Soviet Union, planning to join a big ballet company so they could leave on tour and then defect, desperate for anything American, having no traditions or fun or celebrations or parties or happinesses...and see how wrong that dumb idea was! I have uploaded this for people who have set their hearts on learning Russian. Victims, oh, I mean, people who are studying Russian language need: many prayers, lots of patience, people to help them, kind and understanding teachers,family members who are handy with first aid kits and Advil, and every possible learning aid! 6 cases are nothing to sneeze at! ----------------------------------- The english narration has been left alone, but I have typed in the Russian dialogue as subtitles.I could have simply displayed the entire dialogue in the description box here, but thought it might be too distracting for some people to have to keep looking away from the screen and reading the text on the side. So it's on the screen for you. ---------------------------------- Visual quality is fuzzy. My apologies for that, too, but the original was fuzzy too and in a teeny tiny format. Making it larger does not help so I don't recommend opening the screen fully for viewing unless you really want to see the words appear larger. Anyway, the whole point is to learn Russian! It's not meant to blow your mind with brilliant photography:) -------------------------------------- This video is available for viewing freely, elsewhere on the internet,but without titles. I have added the titles in Russian for my own benefit and the benefit of anyone who finds watching films a helpful way to increase vocabulary and get used to the way things sound.This is a pleasant way to learn, and not painful!

Many thanks for posting the last part. The series was really helpful for learning Russian. The plot was surprising: the love story between Victor and Natasha only appeared in the last episodes and it came as a surprise. I guess Beaton preferred to keep it realistic than give us a predictable love story. I feel that the general idea of the plot was good, but the details should have been worked out more.This is irrelevant to the educational value of the series, which is truly great.

I agree with you that the details should have been worked out more. Actually, I wish the series was longer and that more detail could have been included.

Thanks for everything! This is the best way to improve Russian!

Yes, it looks as if Beaton had prepared a scenario for a longer series, and then had to re-adapt it to a short one. In any case it is very useful for those learning the language. Thanks for posting this and all the other videos: it has been a huge help for me :)
