Dear colleagues,

I've just discovered two videoclips added to the youtube collection a  
week ago that feature Marina Tsvetaeva. The film is about Tsvetaeva,  
Vera Guchkova and the "dark sides" of the Eurasinist movement of the  
1930s. It was made in 2006 and contains six episodes. If somebody  
knows where to buy this film in the USA or UK  I'll be very grateful  
for any information regards this as well as for any feedback or  
references to any interesting reviews on this film!..
The film is based on the novel written by Elena Tolstaya and was  
published by the publishing house Amphora.
The two episodes I've mentioned are located here:

Tsvetaeva is played by Galina Tiunina.
There is also a curios short film added to the youtube in the end of  
January based on one Mayakovsky's love  
poem:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50JIIKLaOig
It has a bizzare mix of the Japanese sword fighting ritual and  
Mayakovsky poem sang as a song (a literal interpretation of the words  
"a nado mnoj, krome tvoego vzgliada, ne vlastno lezvie ni odnogo  
nozhz")...

All very best,
Sasha Smith
