Really interesting article - one thing that caught my eye though, was the Looney Tunes wallpaper in their kitchen. That seems like an odd thing to find deep inside Russia.

#33I'm surprised no one has mentioned the movie Eastern Promises yet. http://easternpromises.livejournal.com/47809.html?thread=111...
Was just about to. I read VM hung out with Russian ex-cons for several months to work on the role.
In one interview Viggo mentions how he went to a Russian restaurant during a film break while he still had the tattoos on. Everyone in the restaurant stopped talking when he came in, when he realized why, he decided he shouldn't go off set while still in makeup.

#34Why's this newspaper published in English?
So it can be read by a wider audience? There are many English-language local papers.
There are, I know, but I'd mainly associated them with parts of the world where English is second language. I'd assumed the common language was Russian across Siberia with not much English but I guess it's more complex.
