Listening to Mussorgsky. I like this but not quite enough to work it up further.

and the first part of the film on YouTube (the whole thing is there).
It is of course all in Russian, but it's fairly easy to follow the plot - and anyway it's the visuals that are cool :)

Very cool. My Russian's not all that good unfortunately. I don't really like the whole "paganism was terrible and then Orthodoxy came along" thing; I don't really think the church has been a very positive influence on Ukraine or Russia, and some of my ancestors were those eastern barbarians. :)
I do think it rocks that the film has Boyan in such a positive light!
