Faces of Russia

[Stephany Gould]

The official Web site for the series is pretty spectacular-- it's at
http://www.pbs.org/weta/faceofrussia/. It has information on the show,  k-12
lesson plans, a timeline with graphics, sound bites, movie clips, among other
things. The Web site in and of itself looks like a great teaching and learning
tool (and it may even inspire some latent Russophiles to sign up for courses!)
