Burnt by the Sun 2 (movie)

[Josh Wilson]

Yes, I did indeed visit the site and find this - actually some months ago
when I first fell on the site and first chuckled at it and wondered why they
named it that. 

I understand that the name is not intentional and that the humor I perceive
is the result of an unintended fluke in the transliteration of the name to a
Latin keyset for the purposes of generating an URL. 

But that doesn't stop the name from being ironic and funny...

Josh,  From the TRI-TE website:

О компании

ТРИТЭ - это творческо-производственное объединение, созданное известным
русским кинорежиссером Никитой Михалковым и его единомышленниками в 1987
году. Это независимость и самостоятельность. Независимость от
государственных и общественно-политических структур. Самостоятельность в
решении любых проблем ТРИТЭ и его партнеров. ТРИТЭ - это аббревиатура трех
русских слов: ТВОРЧЕСТВО, ТОВАРИЩЕСТВО, ТРУД. Символ ТРИТЭ - русский
медведь, держащий в лапах три буквы <Т>, слитых воедино.
