Hi John,

Hard for me to say regarding the sound, as I have not see the other versions - but even the Criterion set is not great, that's for sure... I think in few spots we had to look at the subs to understand what was said. On positive side is the fact that the sound plays secondary role in that film.

You are so lucky to visit that part of the country this time of the year... it will be a bit crowded but gorgeous. If you have any questions regarding what to do and where to go in St. Peter shoot me an email... I presume you will have a guide, of course.

You might want to train yourself to sleep with the lights on... he-he... and hope the hotel has heavy curtains! Get your walking shoes ready, and don't let the locals fool you into drinking Baltika - insist on Nevskoye!
