Well there is, but... if you wanted, and you had the time (a *lot* of it),
you could create the sub file yourself, seeing as you know Russian, of course.
This would take insane amounts of patience, however. You would need to run the
movie in mplayer, with the time display running, and type the translation as you
watched, noting the exact time for each display of text, down to the
millisecond. You could probably find out the format of the subtitle file via
google or something, I don't have one handy right now.

What is the name of the movie? I'll check on bittorrent. Many of the movies I
find there include subs.
