Ray Bradbury was, and is, extremely popular in Russia, as can be seen by the Russian film, VELD, which can be accessed by the link in the first posting above, as well as other Russian adaptations of Ray's work which have been posted to this site (the film DOMINUS, as well as animated adaptations of "There Will Come Soft Rain" and "Here There Be Tygers", links to which have also been posted on this site. You can use this site's "Find" feature to locate those posts.)
