Huzzah! Much happiness and amusement, Thankee kindly! Sorry it took ages to realize you'd finished, been a bit internet-less for a bit over a week, and only just had a chance to get through lj backpostings.
Lovely~ and again, lovely.
Guess that puts me on the spot now, eh? *wanders off to add the challenge to her blog*
Did I ever tell you that the ballerina in Russian Ark is the actual contemporary ballerina so-&-so? (Of course I've forgotten her name) There are a number of other cameos as well, including the current directer of the Hermitage, etc., etc. All from an an article in a Slavic periodical all about the flick, including the name of the Marquis (real guy) who also wrote a book about his travels in Russia. Eeenteresting. Can I remember any of the names, or even the title of the book? HA! Will have to look it up again.
