I don't know if it's interesting for the bulk of the community, but: there is a good historical series about the eastern front. It's Russian (and Russians are heavily biased on the WW2 subject, that's a fact), but I find it refreshingly neutral and facts-driven. And it's very detailed. Plans, facts, numbers, archive videos, reconstructions, personal notes of the participants - the coverage is very good. For the western majority of our community it might be a great thing to watch while waiting for the game.

I wanted to ask some senior members of the community to take a look at this and, in case you liked it, maybe we could translate it? It's helluva lot of work and I have no experience whatsoever for this, so I can't even say it's possible. That's another matter for your opinions.

It would be great to have feedback from other Russian players on this as well.

Its a great! documentary indeed! and I would recommend watching it as well to anyone!
As to translate ... there is option on YouTube to turn on captions then select the translate option to the lang you need. The Translation isn't 100% perf but its still ok :)

It's not that hard, you just need to have been born in one of the used to be CCCR countries :P

Well, in my dreams it should be Tommy, Fatal, Yoink and Ami as narrative voices :)
