LOST in Russia

It's a much smaller world than it used to be. The web, of course, is partly responsible. Worldwide television syndication is another reason. I can watch Black Adder and Mr. Bean here in the US. In the UK, people can watch LOST and Desperate Housewives. According to the LOSTpedia, Lost is syndicated worldwide, and has been sold to over 210 territories, making it the second most popular TV show in the world. The most popular is CSI, but it is actually more than one show (CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: Las Vegas, CSI: New York City). Today, I can even buy the LOST soundtrack from a Russian website (AllofMP3), copy it to a Chinese made USB flash drive and play it in my Japanese car.   Speaking of Russia, LOST is now in it's second season in Russia. I just received an email from Ксения (Kseniya), a 15 year old girl in Russia, and she is a real LOST fan! She tells us that LOST is known as Остаться ь живых and it translates roughly to the phrase to survive. Остаться ь живых airs on the 1st Channel and is currently on episode 19 of season 2 (as of 10/29/2006).   Kseniya lives in a small town in Russia and her favorite characters are Kate and Jack. She hopes that they get together. She even has the LOST Season 2 DVD and is ready for Season 3 to start. She thinks that LOST teaches us about life and I have to agree. LOST is the type of show that makes us all think. More information: A popular LOST fansite in Russia is: www.lostfilm.ru. Airdates of LOST Worldwide
