We’ve given our regular quiz a Russian makeover – NOW WITH ANSWERS
Because The Darkest Hour hits UK cinema screens this week, in honour of the film’s Moscow setting we have a Russian-themed quiz for you. All the images below either feature characters who are Russian, shows or films set in Russia (or with Russian-set sequences, at least) or were by Russian creators. Be careful to read the instructions below the images, as with two of them we are not after the name of the film or show, but the character’s name instead.
Oh, and the picture to the left, by the way, is from Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol which we daren’t use because it’ll open up that whole tedious argument about whether Mission Impossible is SFX or not. But it’s a great pic and it seemed not a shame to use it.
Usual request: Please don’t put answers in the comments section below (though feel free to use it to boast/bemoan how well/badly you’re doing) but the folks on this thread are quite happy for you to post and discuss answers if you follow the golden rule of only posting answers in invisible text (if you don’t know how ask somebody there – they’re very friendly).
