Lisa, Not a vendor, per se, but many older Soviet-era titles are available for free streaming from the rights-holder Mosfilm. I recognize this isn't an ideal option for fulfilling the library's function of preserving cultural materials, but it has come in handy for just-in-time course use. They do have *Cossacks of the Kuban* available with English subtitles.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
