Russian Vs. North American Releases
One of the key differences between the North American release and the Russian original is that while they both open with a particular sequence, the North American version is truncated.
- Anton and Anatoly play basketball in the computer room.
- Alisa visits Galina Rogova's little daughter to find out if she saw Gorodetsky.
- Anton calls his ex-wife (Yegor's mother) to find out where Yegor is.
- In the subway, Anton escapes from the pursuing Dark Others by jumping into a running train. The pursuers kill a night guard who tries to stop them.
- At the party Anton grabs a microphone from a singer and starts singing Communist songs.
- Yegor is trying to suck out the life force of Svetlana through the needle he put into her at the beginning.
In addition, there are many trims of existing scenes and excised lines. Also, there are some cuts for violence, e.g. Yegor pouring a pot of hot sausages over a vendor and Anton's brutal beating by the security guard.
The Unrated DVD is the same as the Russian release of the DVD.

Famous quotes containing the words russian, north, american and/or releases:
“Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No—we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“I do not speak with any fondness but the language of coolest history, when I say that Boston commands attention as the town which was appointed in the destiny of nations to lead the civilization of North America.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“During the late war [the American Revolution] I had an infallible rule for deciding what [Great Britain] would do on every occasion. It was, to consider what they ought to do, and to take the reverse of that as what they would assuredly do, and I can say with truth that I was never deceived.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
