Re: [Videolib] Mosfim Classics on YouTube
Deg, thanks for bringing this to our attention! Many of the films are available on DVD in the US, but there are some real rarities such as a subtitled version of Ivan Pyryev's notorious Stalin-era kolkhoz musical COSSACKS OF THE KUBAN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5qoPRyvPOU At the main Mosfilm website you can view slightly better quality (less compressed) versions for free, including many with subtitles. Here is the URL: http://cinema.mosfilm.ru/MainPage.aspx The Mosfilm website has an English language navigation option. You can also purchase many subtitled films for download at the Mosfilm website for $2.30 each. The files are in the Windows Media format, but fortunately they lack digital rights management. I've been using the service for the past several months and really like it. Mainly, I've downloaded some of their harder-to-find, *unsubtitled* films at DVD quality (4-5 gigabytes per film).
