Yes, please do. That sounds very interesting. Does the documentary have
English subtitles? I would be showing it to students, most of whom don't
know Russian.

There is also a documentarary.  I hope to come back from Kazakahstan in 
August with a copy of the feature (in Russian) . I already have the 
documentary, If interested, I can send more information.
