Russian Video: Dog Barbos and Unusual Cross. Bootleggers (Movie)

Leave a reply

Hello,

Our regular readers already know the name of outstanding Russian comedy-movie director Leonid Gaidai (1923–1993). We already watched his remarkable screen version of O. Henry’s stories “The Roads We Take”, “Makes the Whole World Kin” and “The Ransom of Red Chief” – Strictly Business (Деловые люди), 1962. What we like very much!

Today we will watch his another early-made movie titled Absolutely Seriously (Совершенно серьёзно) (1961) where we meet his famous comic trio of crooks: Experienced, Coward and Fool – who brought him a great success and whom we’ll meet again and again in his others movies! They are always up to something no-good, and they always fail at their escapades. The movie was made in two segments:

“Dog Barbos and Unusual Cross” (Пёс Барбос и необычный кросс)

“Bootleggers” (Самогонщики)

Cast:
Yury Nikulin as Fool
Georgy Vitsin as Coward
Evgeny Morgunov as Experienced

Have a good time and remember that laugh prolongs your life! 😉

Her name is Ulya and she does not eat salt and sugare and she hates bananas. There are two documents: her passport and her child’s birth certificate, make it quite clear: Ulya was born in 1884 and her the only child was born 79 years later.

2 Replies

Hello,

Today we want to introduce you a very interesting person: Abigail Faust – an American student who spent 10 months in Russia in Sibirea last year as an exchange student. With great interest we follow her blog “Learning to Speak” (From the Wilds of Siberia to the Wilds of a College Campus). We started to follow her blog when she was still in Russia. Today Abigail told in her blog that recently she have given an interview to Roomie and this interview is already published here. When I’ve watched this interview I just felt that I must republish it here.

Russian Video: Barneo – the Artic Camp in Russia!

Leave a reply

Hello,

Finally, even I can tell that the spring has sprung in Moscow. That’s why when we are warm and comfy here in Moscow we can watch a video about Russian Camp Barneo – an Arctic Riviera in Russia!

For our readers who wants to know more:

Camp Barneo (Russian Лагерь Барнео) is an ice drift base about 100 km (60 miles) from the North Pole, first established in 1993. As of April 2007 it was located at [show location on an interactive map] 89°31.5′N 30°27′W / 89.525°N 30.45°W / 89.525; -30.45. However, northerly winds cause the camp to drift toward the southeast at a speed of 0.8 km/h. (More information you can find in Wikipedia)

What is in Barneo right now Barneo 2009 Chronicle – a very interesting site I highly recommend you to look!

Maybe some of our readers would love to visit Barneo, as for me I’ll better enjoy my spring in Moscow.

Best wishes for everyone,

Russian Video: Hafanana – Valery Leontiev!

Leave a reply

Hello,

That was my favourite music from my childhood. I think the first time I’ve heard it on figure skating competitions… Recently, my friend Chelita published a slide-show what used this music in her wonderful “The World is Beautiful! Look!“. I never knew a name of the song but Chelita helped me and look what a beautiful Russian video I found with this song. Valery Leontiev sings Hafanana!

Some words from the song:

Budu budi budabi.
Hafa na-na
Amana kukarena- shalalala
Budubudi budabi
Hafanana
Amana kukarena shalalula
