Yes: "Because they were marked with the letter K (for Voronezh Komintern Factory), Red Army troops adopted a nickname from Mikhail Isakovsky's popular wartime song, 'Katyusha', about a girl longing for her absent beloved, who has gone away on military service"

I thought that said "Mikhail Baryshnikov does eleven prostitutes" at first glance. Now that would've been something to behold.

They can't cover EVERYTHING in the pre-interview prep sessions. I mean, just think... just a few months ago she had no idea what the VP does!?!

She has really been cramming, you can tell by the way she name-dropped Mikhail Saakashvili (not in this clip) and pronounced it better than I ever would have. That has got to count for something, right? So what if she didn't know about preemption, right... she learned to pronounce a hard name!

Agreed.

“I thought that since U.S. is supporting Georgia there would be some control over the situation in South Ossetia and that there would be a peaceful solution to the conflict. But what is happening there now it’s not just war, but war crimes. George Bush and [Georgian president] Mikhail Saakashvili should answer to the crimes that are being committed – the killing of innocent people, running over by tanks of children and women, throwing grenades into cellars where people are hiding,” Mestas said.
“The war is when military fight against military. But the Georgian army is killing innocent civilians. This is genocide,” he added.

It's hard as hell for an American to know what's going on since we have to learn more about John Edwards and his mistress, first.

Oh, and I'm in complete shock. Inciting murder?

Reminds me of the joke from the old Soviet Union.

An old lady wrote a letter to newly elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Mikhail Gorbachev, wishing him all that her fellow citizens wished for the previous leaders.

The next day she was arrested for inciting murder.

Seventeen Moments of Spring (1973) ("Семнадцать мгновений весны" in Russian), also Seventeen Instants of Spring is a Soviet TV miniseries. It was filmed at Gorky Film Studio, directed by Tatiana Lioznova and based on the series of books by the novelist Yulian Semyonov. It is divided into 12 episodes, with each part being 70 minutes and the whole series being 840 minutes long.

The series is about the life of Soviet spy Maksim Isaev operating in Nazi Germany under the name Max Otto von Stirlitz, played by the Soviet actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov. Other leading roles were played by Leonid Bronevoy, Oleg Tabakov, Yuri Vizbor, Evgeni Evstigneev, Rostislav Plyatt, Vasily Lanovoy, and Mikhail Zharkovsky.

One of the best series I have ever seen.

Disclosure : I ripped and uploaded this small scene from the start of the film. Because me, and my pet rock only seem to know about it.

This is a severely underrated cinema classic.

Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov. Among his most famous and most important films are his four final features: Letyat zhuravli (The Cranes Are Flying, 1957); Neotpravlennoye pismo (The Unsent Letter, 1959); Ya Kuba (I Am Cuba, 1964); and Krasnaya palatka (The Red Tent, 1969). These are marked by very long, complex takes filled with startling, often surreal images and among the most virtuosic camerawork of that or any other era.

I can't recommend this movie enough - a mixture of real life drama with philosophical lessons about leadership, guilt and moving on. It is based on the story of Umberto Nobile, on May 23, 1928, Nobile set out to land on the North Pole. Severe weather and problems forced delays, during such an attempt, Nobile's airship crashed with it's crew on the ice on May 25th, close to 81° 14' latitude north, 28° 14' longitude east.

The crew managed to salvage several items from the crashed airship, including food, a radio transmitter and, famously, a red tent. The drifting sea ice later took the survivors towards Foyn and Broch islands. Incompetence on the part of Captain Romagna meant that the survivors' distress signals were not picked up for several weeks, and despite the presence of Italian ski-troops on board in case of just such an emergency, no effort was made by the Italian authorities to mount a search, let alone a rescue effort.

The film stars Peter Finch, Sean Connery, Claudia Cardinale and Hardy Krüger. The soundtrack is by Ennio Morricone.

EDIT : Upped the video quality.

So lucky to have seen this recently, thanks to PM and James. I uploaded the video and James sifted it.

I am Cuba (Spanish: Soy Cuba; Russian: Я Куба, Ya Kuba) is a Cuban/Soviet film produced in 1964 by director Mikhail Kalatozov at Mosfilm.The movie was not received well by either the Russian or Cuban public and was almost completely forgotten until it was re-discovered by filmmakers in the United States 30 years later. The movie's acrobatic tracking shots and idiosyncratic mise en scene prompted Hollywood directors like Martin Scorsese to begin a campaign to restore the movie in the early 1990s.
