Typical Russian propaganda. Of course, all of the US's good ideas were stolen wholesale from Russians. Thats what we do here, is steal and rob from others. What a joke, go watch Avatar again.

US_Marine, The irony of your suggestion to go and watch the "new American invention" -- Avatar -- is, that the basic idea this movie is built on (such as planet Pandora populated by half-human-half-cat creatures)... were taken from Russian sci-fi writers Strugatsky brothers. Specifically from their novel series "The Noon Universe". James Cameron was "inventive", though, because he added in this movie another idea -- the planet surface represents as a huge interconnected organism (brain). This, apparently, was taken from another work of Strugatsky brothers -- "Solaris". So, it seems to me, Cameron was really busy reading those famous Soviet writers...

Solaris was from polish writer Stanislaw Lem actually.

Thank you for this information. Its such a crime that we Americans were denied all Russian culture unless it came via our own progressives, which it often did. I want a REUNION! The only thing we seemed to be allowed to see that was Soviet was figure skating, which I LOVED. I remember when I saw the Protopopovs, that death spiral, I thought they must be from Mars it was so very beautiful (I loved to skate as a child).

It's pathetic when a military man, speaks about propaganda. "Typical" propaganda. US_Marine, realize your role, been nothing but a tool, and leave such topics like art to people who actually understand what its all about.
