#Curios: Animatsiya.net

Synopsis: Animatsiya.net aims to make the full, rich tapestry of Russian and Soviet animation accessible to people all around the world. The site hosts a collection of animated films spanning over a century, and allows them to be watched online paired with good-quality subtitles in different languages. The videos come mostly from the studios and film archives, which in recent years have begun to upload their back-catalogues online, or the directors themselves. This is a great way to learn the Russian language and culture (as well as the other cultures and languages of the region).
