Oligarch / Tycoon: a free resource at Cornell Web site

[Slava Paperno]

Oligarkh is a recent film by Pavel Lounguine, a crime drama based on the 
life of Boris Berezovsky. It has been compared to Godfather and Scarface. 
The film is available in the US on DVD Tycoon: A New Russian. I know that 
Cornell is not the only school where this film is used in Russian language 
classes.

Thanks to careful work by Viktoria Tsimberov (and support from The 
Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning), the transcript for the 
film, along with glosses and scene descriptions (as text and audio 
recordings) is now accessible at http://russian.cornell.edu. Click the last 
blue button on the left. You do need the DVD to watch the film, though--the 
movie itself is not on the Web.

Please direct any comments and questions to the creator of the Web site, 
Viktoria Tsimberov, vt13 at cornell.edu. Do not respond to the list unless you 
have a comment that is of interest to SEELANGers.
