Russia broadcasts 'War and Peace' marathon
For four days, Russians are being treated to a live reading of Leo Tolstoy's epic novel 'War and Peace'. Over 1000 readers are taking part in the 60 hour marathon broadcast on Russian state TV and radio. We spoke to Faith Penhale, executive producer of the new 6 part adaptation of War & Peace, which will be shown on 蜜芽传媒 television - and around the world - next month. And also to Alexander Kan, from the 蜜芽传媒's Russian Service.
