Tsars -- Hanky-Panky at the Russian Palace

[Charles Mills]

I don't see any cause for indignance.  I think the reviewer is referring to
the low-budget pirated copies that were ubiquitous throughout Poland and
Russia in the late 80s and 90s in which one voice read for all parts.  Sure
enough, in film after film it sounded as if the narrator's nose was plugged,
and Russian friends told me that was just what it was: because they were
pirated, the piraters didn't want to get caught.  Plugging their noses
masked their true voice.
