tolstoy's documentary

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear colleagues,

Those of you who are teaching Tolstoy might be interested to learn  
about the fact that there is an exclellent video on Tolstoy's WAR and  
PEACE, and Tolstoy's vision of war located on one of the webpages of  
the youth tube website:  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFdaXzkgFuo&mode=related&search=
It's a Soviet documentary in Russian with English subtitles. It runs  
for approximately 9 minutes and contains some documentary clips of the  
Russian-Japanese war, among other things. Since it was produced in  
Soviet times, it contains some political overtones which might be of  
interest to historians, too.

All best,
Alexandra
