You may have a hard time following it unless you understand Russian, as there are no captions, but it&#8217;s nevertheless always intriguing to see how someone else visualises Middle-earth.<\/p>\n<p>Some background via the Youtube comments: Technically this is not a movie. It&#8217;s a theatrical performance filmed\ufeff on a TV studio. That&#8217;s what &#8220;\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0435\u0441\u043f\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0430\u043a\u043b\u044c&#8221; stands for. Think of it as of a TV show for little children. These were pretty popular at the time, because soviet televison didn&#8217;t have anything you could call a &#8220;show&#8221; in modern sense. Also, the narrator here is Zinovy Gerdt &#8212; one of the most famous and recognised soviet actors.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a sub-titled MST-3K style parody (bad language warning!) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Sl7w2Z0vGpA\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player lazyload\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6m0l3Yr1B50?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Russian version of The Hobbit, made in 1985, is nothing less than fascinating.
