  Is that the one about the Siberian serial killer? Donald Sutherland was in it? If so, my parents and I accidently watched it on dish a couple of years ago. We weren't going to watch it, but it got fairly good and all three of us ended up watching the whole thing.

  I remember something about bodies in the woods, but have no clear recollection. Should I rent it? What spurred your interest in it?

    Just curious on your take. The interesting thing is how the Russian
    officer in charge of the investigation copes with his situation.
    Then the difference of how the criminal is dealt with. I liked it
    it was creepy but not gory given the subject matter.
    I liked where the higher up officials kept insisting that Russia
    does not have serial killers that is an American phenomenom. Since
    your Russian just wanted your view.

    Good Viewing

      Without any questions. There is no Miranda. Jails are far worse, if fact completely horrible. Also, the punishment used to be much more certain and severe - no revolving door. That was true, I believe, of all communist countries.

      As I am sure you know, accurate statistics are nearly impossible to obtain from those years. I suspect there is some truth in what she was saying. I am not a criminal scientist, but it appears that freedom of movement (having cars, being able to change addresses at will, no official registered place of residence required) does make the life of a serial killer easier. So it may be that here serial killers have greater potential.

      However, it had always fascinated me that the number of murders in that country with as complete gun control as theoretically possible, was about the same as here, with our 200 million guns in private hands. I guess no gun law had ever rendered a knife or a brick inefficient.

      One thing for sure, if you have to be arrested and put in jail, make sure it is NOT Russian jail. Especially nowdays.
