- Question — Where are the subtitles sourced from? I'm worried they might be separately copyrighted. Moonreach (talk) 20:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- The Russian intertitles are from archived prints (derived from the original Soviet release), and the translated English subtitles I grabbed from this version. If there are any issues, the alternative would be to use Mosfilm's translation (on Commons and YouTube). It's only ~150 titles, so it wouldn't take long to do. hinnk (talk) 21:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'll support, then. I've scrubbed through the film and everything about it looks good. Moonreach (talk) 14:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
