I remember that Anna was pregnant during this filming and Ruby mentioned that Anna had an abortion afterwards although Anna wasn't married at the time of the filming.
Russian reserve seems reminiscent of the old English reserve, she's not so alien in her composure and stoicism looks like an interesting series. full episodes are sadly nowhere to be found on RU-vid.
I'm really disappionted by the way Ruby Wax treats her Russian interpeter. You can be a bitch to Madonna or Joan Collins, but there is really no need to humiliate people who are already humiliated enough by comminism.
Anna and Ruby are acting for most of the documentary. They had met months before while setting up for it. It was actually Anna that gave them access through a professor of hers. This documentary also help to get the people you see interviewed in it out of the USSR. Like Anna and Sergei.
