To make this film, we sent a crew on a journey via rail, river and foot to small villages in northeast Russia. Upon reaching their various destinations, the people were gracious and cooperative with the film makers in allowing them to follow the daily rituals of their lives. In RURAL RUSSIA, you won't find arrogance, laziness or those who depend on others to do their work for them. Instead, you will meet people who know how to live off the land and harness its resources to their advantage. There are no major roadways so therefore few cars. There is very little electricity so there are few luxuries such as phones or televisions available to them. What is prevalent, is the closeness of family and friends and a sense of overwhelming pride and strength exhibited by the Russian people. RURAL RUSSIA is a reminder of early American frontier life, before society and technology changed the way we live forever.  for more information click here Rural Russia A journey by train and then by boat into the heart of the Russian countryside. A good insight into the typical aspects of rural life although the narrator can't resist lecturing on the necessity of `progress' as most visitors to Russia seem compelled to do. A visit to a rural prison is particularly insightful although the quality of the material wanes alittle at the end with a ten minute discussion around a campfire revolving around the possible capture of a frog that briefly appeared. Disappointing The opening few minutes seem promising, but the video quickly declines into either uninteresting and overlong shots from train windows or story lines drawn out longer than interest justifies. What we are left with is basically a home movie, although of professional quality, centred on a limited group of characters in the countryside. It would have been far more interesting if the producers had widened the scope to take in more people and places in the regions covered.  for more information click here search for videos rural russia, rural, russia      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: Lyrical Life: A Rock and Roll Love Story Told in 200 Song Lyrics
