4) For film lovers
For film lovers - try to see the detective film 'Liquidation' (2007). A very talented and extremely interesting miniseries (includes 14 episodes, around 40 minutes each) with chief of criminal investigations David Gotsman's (played by Vladimir Mashkov)
The year is 1946. World War II is over, but it doesn't mean that there is no one to fight with. The post-war city of Odessa is ruled by serial killer prison-escapees and former Nazi collaborators. Fallen into disfavor, Marshal Zhoukov is sent to Odessa by Joseph Stalin to handle the situation. Together with the head of the local criminal investigation unit, David Gottsman, Zhoukov begins a special operation under the code name "Liquidation" (plot summary from wiki).
From the point of view of the language the film is also interesting because the action takes place in Odessa, where people speak very special Russian - such a juicy combination of Russian language, Ukrainian words and speed of the speech and Jewish accent
