Evreinov's "Storming of the Winter Palace"

[Dassia Posner]

Dear Edyta,
I have sent this information to Kathleen Tobin as well, but for those others among you who are interested, footage of Evreinov's Storming is available online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXv3MmpTXEE
beginning at about 5:00.  There is lots of other rare Soviet theatre footage in this surprisingly wonderful collection of clips, including Mikhoels as Lear,  and scenes from Vakhtangov's  Princess Turandot, Meyerhold's Les and Revizor, and Tairov's Hairy Ape.  
Best,
Dassia Posner

I know the footage has been in private circulation but I am not certain if it was ever commercially released in any country.   Most internet video pertaining to this event is of course Eisenstein's work, often mislabeled as documentary footage; I think my best chance to see the real thing will be through academic channels.  I am building a puppet show of the re-enactment for performance in Brooklyn next month (March 2012) and am eager to see more evidence of  the original production.   The Lenfilm listing for this film is: ?????? ??????? ?????? 1920, ?/?, ?????. ????: ?????????. ???. ?????????? ??????? ????????.   Thanks for any leads!
