    Russian females are famous world wide for their beauty. Interesting fact is, that Russian men are not recognized as such while I find them very attractive Wink

    Entertainment, Arts and Culture Empty How much money will Transformers 3 take from Russia?

    Post  Pervius Fri Jun 24, 2011 7:54 pm

    I read that the Director of Transformers 3, Michael Bay is in Russia along with Linkin Park and the stars of that movie. Michael Bay's grandfather was from Russia, apparently must have been a Jewish Russian as Michael Bay's Jewish, and that religion is a bloodline.

    How much money will be sent out of Russia as everyone goes and watches that movie? Maybe why GM and the US Air Force spent so much time and money supporting those movies?


    Russia should have demanded they be part of the WTO before letting that movie play over there. How will Russia make up all that money that will leave country? Poor business model.

    Not all the money goes to the US... some of it goes to the movie theatres in Russia... and another enormous chunk of cash goes to the bootleggers selling counterfeit copies of the movie in the weeks after it is released in the US and before it is released in Russia so what goes around comes around so to speak...

    Still, the best channel in Russia is rutracker torrents )))
    Best Russian show I've ever seen was Liquidation (miniseries). Would be interested to some of You, here is description

    The year is 1946. World War II is over, but it doesn't mean that there is no one to fight with. The post-war city of Odessa is ruled by serial killer prison-escapees and former Nazi collaborators. Fallen into disfavor, Marshal Zhoukov is sent to Odessa by Joseph Stalin to handle the situation. Together with the head of the local criminal investigation unit, David Gottsman, Zhoukov begins a special operation under the code name "Liquidation

    Sorry, no English version.

    Well she was born in Kharkov and speaks Russian. I haven't listened to the vid, but she could be substantially MORE pro Russian than Miss Russia. I mean I have family from Kiev (and some of the W areas of the Ukr, further back) but I'd want the Ukr and Ru reunified, and the Lvov Fascists bombed into oblibvion.

    Altho is the surname Western/Central Ukrainian?

    Anyway, I think that East Slavic women are the hottest in the World.

    'Masha and the Bear' wins a 'children’s Oscar'

    The popular Russian animated series took the prize for Best Animation at the Kidscreen Awards.

    The Russian animated series “Masha and the Bear” has won the award for Best Animation in the Creative Talent category at the prestigious Kidscreen Awards 2015, which took place last month in Miami.

    "This is practically the first recognition that a Russian animation series has ever received on an international, professional level. This award, which in a way is an analog to the children's Oscar for the TV industry, says that Russian animation has entered a completely new level," said series producer Dmitri Loveiko.

    Russian animation is slowly attracting international recognition, although art-house animation has been more successful recently than commercial animation.

    Last year, Svetlana Razgulyaeva's “Why the Banana Snarls” took part in one of the competition programs of the Berlin Film Festival; Dina Velikovskaya's “My Strange Grandfather” received the award for Best Animation Film at the Amarcort Short Movie Festival in Rimini, Italy; and Constantine Bronzit's “We Can’t Live Withouth Space” was the best short film at the Cinanima's International Program in Espinho in Portugal. Olesya Schukina's “The Elephant and the Bicycle” took eight prizes at festivals all over the world in 2014, participating in competitions from the UK to China.

    Distribution and screening rights to “Masha and the Bear” were sold to Turner Broadcasting (Cartoon Network), France Television, KIKA, Sony Music and NBC Universal. On YouTube, the series’ channel was ranked 20th in the list of the most popular YouTube channels of 2014. Episodes of “Masha and the Bear” have been viewed on YouTube more than 2.5 billion times. Two other Russian cartoons appear in the list of the top 100 YouTube channels of 2014: “Luntik,” in 59th place and “Barboskiny,” in 69th place.

    Russia’s Polina Gagarina to perform in second part of Eurovision final

    VIENNA, May 20. /TASS/. Singer Polina Gagarina, who represents Russia at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria, will perform in the second part of the final due on Saturday.

    She participated in a toss-up during a press conference attended by all the ten participants who qualified on Tuesday for the final. The final number at which the participants will perform is due to be determined after the second semifinal on Thursday.

    Gagarina confessed that she burst into tears when learning that she had passed to the final. "I am absolutely happy," she said, adding that this feels like giving birth again and seeing her son for the first time.

    The singer said she was glad to hear how the whole audience sang the song during her performance and shouted her name. "Thank you for your hearty welcome," she added.

    Gagarina, 28, is a winner of the Star Factory, a popular Russian music TV project. Russia has taken part in the Eurovision since 1994 and won the song contest in 2008 with pop star Dima Bilan performing the song "Believe".

    Besides Russia, the other semifinal winners are Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Georgia, Serbia, Armenia, Albania and Belgium. Another ten performers aspiring to win the contest will be announced in the second semifinal on May 21.

    In the May 23 final, the participants will be joined by the representatives of the big European "five" - Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Italy - as well as the host country and the special guest of the contest on occasion of its 60th anniversary, Australia.

    I fully expect Eurovision to be, as usual, a political tool. Beautiful song regardless. Bookmakers are predicting a 2nd place.

    What's pathetic is not seen that Eurovision is serious business and a very profitable one for everyone.

    And the organisation has introduced faux applause and crowd sounds in every entry as response Laughing (although this year's venue is quite smallish so maybe it's just a side effect). Booing a good entry is quite stupid since it has being proven time and again that trying to ruining the show for this or that country has no effect among people at home.

    The running order for the final was announced yesterday after the second semifinal by Austrian broadcaster ORF and EBU.
