Rutracker is sure amazing. Imagine having a "national tracker" with practically every film that was ever made in the country. If somebody made a documentary about birds, in 1935... or a quirky childrens adventure in the 1960s, it'll be on Rutracker with 100 seeds, 200 comments and meticulously written up and tagged.

Meanwhile I tried to find some (locally) famous Swedish films from the 1950s. No sign of them anywhere, let alone our world famous tracker. You simply can't get them anymore and they exist purely in people's memories.

Rutracker is a very unique thing and I can only conclude that Russians must be cinema lovers of epic proportions.

I hope the RU government don't go after Rutracker - it's practically a cultural institution! Media reports Russia will get "tough on piracy".

I'd encourage everybody to explore this unique tracker and its amazing content.
