distributors

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear Colleagues:

The following information is from my article, forthcoming, on materials for
the teaching of Russian.  The article will appear in the volume _The
Learning and Teaching of Slavic Languages and Cultures:  Toward the 21st
Century_, which I am editing with Olga Kagan of UCLA.  The volume will be
published by Slavica (www.slavica.com.)  My essay has a section on
distributors of videos:

Listed below are selected distributors of Russian films and videomaterials.
Some offer materials only with subtitles, some only without, and some offer
either.  Additional distributors may be found on the website of the AATSEEL
