A Russian-Ukrainian film about a legendary Soviet sniper nicknamed 'Lady Death' is aiming to be a hit in both nations despite the crisis that has turned the former allies against each other.

Titled 'Battle for Sevastopol' in Russia but 'Indestructible' across the border in Ukraine, the movie – about a female sharpshooter who reportedly killed more than 300 Nazi troops – is a co-production between the two countries made just before relations nosedived.

And despite the freeze in ties between the former Soviet nations that has seen Ukraine ban a slew of modern Russian films, the $5million (£3m) movie was launched last week with glitzy gala premieres in both Moscow and Kiev.

Algernonpj, I find your post very threatening. I wish instead you had added a comforting story about Misha.

Mea Culpa.

I'm so sorry. How micro-aggressive of me !

I'll try to get you a reservation at Brown's safe room or perhaps Biden will lend you his pacifier.
