As far as movies go, I love a good war flick (must be some really good ones of the Russians during WWII) and am partial to the odd horror but really any movie with a good story line is up my alley. And as for music I enjoy rock music (Aria sounds pretty awesome, will be better when I can understand it) but listen to almost anything. So what recommendations do you have?
    Cheers
    Wow, you live in outback Australia! Cool! My dad lives near Brisbane, but I am in Sweden at the moment. I am very fascinated by the Australian outback although I haven't actually been to Australia yet.

    Well, we have several threads about Russian movies here, and there is plenty to choose from including what you are looking for (war movies). Most of them are b/w though, this is the drawback with Russian war movies - other than than that they are excellent.

    Some good Russian war films are:

    А зори здесь тихие (1972) The Dawns are quiet today
    Брестская крепость (2010) Brest Fortress
    17 мгновений весны (1973) 17 Moments of Spring
    Иваново детство (1962) Ivan's Childhood
    Летят журавли (1957) The Cranes are Flying
    Кукушка (2006) Kukushka (means "cuckoo")

    You can buy these films and have them shipped to you in Australia, in that case make sure to buy a version with subtitles! Alternatively you can download them from somewhere like rutracker.org and get the subtitles from subs.com.ru

    In most cases, it seems, with English subs only. Мосфильм, русским глухим и слабослышащим: "Fuck you, deafies!"

    (Seriously, WTF? The technology is there and it's not expensive to do; and YouTube supports multiple subtitle-files in various languages for a single video. It's a matter of hiring a few native-Russian typists to transcribe the dialogue and add the time-codes to the subtitle file.)

    Роберт, а ну-ка напиши Денисе. Всякая помощь инвалидам - это то, чем она занимается. Я думаю, что её будет легко вдохновить на продвижение такого начинания. У неё большие связи и возможности.

    http://samara-desnica.ru/tag/perspektiva/

    С сайта: http://perspektiva-inva.ru/ -"Начата подготовка к Шестому Международному
    кинофестивалю о жизни людей с инвалидностью «Кино без барьеров», который пройдет
    в Москве 22-25 ноября 2012 года
    "
    "...Фильмы не на русском языке принимаются с английскими субтитрами и монтажными
    листами. Наличие русских субтитров и монтажных листов желательно для всех
    видеоматериалов, вне зависимости от языка-оригинала, поскольку фестивальные
    фильмы будут субтитрироваться для неслышащих и слабослышащих людей. ..."



    И, между прочим, появился новый закон о правах инвалидов:

    "Радостная новость: 25 апреля (2012) Государственная Дума Российской Федерации ратифицировала Конвенцию о правах инвалидов. Конвенция направлена на защиту и поощрение реализации прав людей с инвалидностью и обеспечение полного и равного участия инвалидов в жизни общества (текст Конвенции).

    «Это долгожданный момент, – говорит Денис Роза, директор РООИ «Перспектива» и Фонда «Лучшие друзья». – Это важный шаг для реализации прав людей с инвалидностью и членов их семей, которых в России более 30 миллионов. Ратификация гарантирует эти права, даже если они не фигурируют сегодня в российском законодательстве. Конвенция имеет приоритет. Ратификация как стержень, как видение, куда мы будем развиваться в будущем: и в инклюзивном образовании, и в интегрированном трудоустройстве, и в информировании общества о людях с инвалидностью, и в доступе к досугу, и практически ко всему...

    ... Ратификация Конвенции потребует безотлагательного перехода всех органов власти к активным действиям по комплексной интеграции инвалидов в общество, а также выявлению и пресечению дискриминации в отношении этой категории граждан. ..."

    I recomend to anyone who has never been to Australia to put it on their bucket list and it sounds like you have a really good excuse to do it.

    I've saved the list and will have to get around to finding them. Im downloading 17 мгновений весны at the moment as it seems to be getting a pretty good rep.

    Thanks again
