Тарас Бульба (Taras Bulba) is a historical drama, based on a novel of the same title by Nikolai Gogol (the 1842 ed.). The movie was filmed on location in Ukraine (Zaporizhia, Khotyn and Kamianets-Podilskyi) and Poland, and was released on April 2, 2009, to coincide with Gogol’s bicentennial. A great deal of controversy accompanied the film's theatrical release, particularly in the Ukraine, in part due to the financial backing of the Russian Ministry of Culture, and the view by many Ukrainians that it was intended to advance a political claim to Ukranian territory by Russia.

The BD's technical specifications are indicated as 1080p/AVC MPEG-4
2.35:1, Russian audio (DTS-HD 7.1), and Ukranian subtitles. Region ABC.

Astonishingly, it looks like the *only* subtitles included on the BD are Ukrainian. No Russian, no English, no French, no German....

Ukraine is a great country, yes. But I would have hoped that they'd at least include Russian subtitles for those of us who need all the help we can get!

Are these region free? And if so where can you order Russian movies?
