Russian Alphabet Video - link with sound / alphabet booklet

Unfortunately the television bit of the BBC inlayer is available only in the United Kingdom.

Although the BBC stand is, it seems, largely one of principle (that their television programmes should be available only to those who have paid the licence fee), there is a rights issue here.  The broadcasting rights to events such as the Olympic Games are controlled extremely strictly, and it is likely that all broadcasters will have the right to show events (including the opening and closing ceremonies) only in their own country and will be obliged to take every step within their power to prevent their images becoming available, inadvertently or otherwise, to persons located elsewhere.

The iplayer section of the BBC website has the whole opening ceremony, including the alphabet sequence.

Does anyone out there have an alternative URL or source for this clip (with sound)?
