Russian TV Commercials

 Welcome to the “Russian TV Commercials” page!

I’ve set up this site to support my on-line lecture series (“Russian Television Commercials: The Short Course”). It links to pages for each of the lectures, embedding links to all the commercials I discuss, as well as English-language translations for some of them. Once the lectures themselves are on YouTube, they will be embedded at the top of the page.

Is this site under construction? You bet your sweet Snickers it is

 
 

Late Soviet Commercials and the Art of Bad Taste

Imagine TV commercials produced with a sensibility halfway between David Lynch and John Waters, and you have the cult classic commercials of Estonian Director Harry Egipt.
