@Russian President – yes, IMDB records the release date as 1979, but Russia Blog has it down as August 1980. I was a wee toddler at the time, so don’t feel qualified to adjudicate in this debate!

@Da Russophile – I noticed that Sean’s Russia Blog was down too. I emailed Sean & he told me he was having problems getting in touch with his hosts over the Thanksgiving Weekend. My thinking’s more in line with Dmitry’s – I suspect that right now, a team of Spetznatz are holding the hosting company staff hostage, to prevent the return of SRB…

Yes, indeed - I also couldn't download Sean's Russia Blog today (it's still down as we speak). I suspect, that's happened due to sharp and consistent criticism of Vladimir Putin and Kasparov-biased presentation of the current political events in Russia. I think Mr. Putin applied his powers, after all he is a very powerful man indeed: Dmitry Mdevedev´s last blog post..DJ Smash: Wave (Volna)

BTW, does anyone know what’s up with Sean’s Russia blog (http://box304.bluehost.com/suspended.page/disabled.cgi/seansrussiablog.org)?

Re-20th C pirates:
Yes, I loved that movie too.

Yes indeed, the “20th Centuries Pirates” was THE MOVIE – the first Soviet blockbuster/action-movie. I watched it like 10 times when I was a boy. Only one correction – it was released in 1979, not in 1980 (I remember it clearly – it WASN’T the year of the Moscow Olympiad – 1980). Please refer to the following Russian website that contains the essentials about the movie:
