Vesti news collection in broadband

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

I would like to call your attention to the unique collection of video
news reports in broadband available online for free from Vesti at:

http://www.vesti.ru/

These video reports are updated daily and include a huge archive
accessible from the left side of the screen (Arkhiv). However, what
makes these reports IDEAL as teaching materials is the fact that each
broadcast includes the full text of the news report, which can be read
online prior to viewing the news report or printed out for class use
("Versia dlia pechati" option at the bottom of the page). To see the
full text, click on the introductory text in each box (these are usually
the anchorperson's remarks). This will bring up the full-page text.

I don't know of a better and more useful site for students and scholars
of Russian. It includes national and international news dealing with
everything from politics to literature to culture..

You can also access Vesti indirectly through my Index (Multimedia --
Video Online).
