I got the original in Russian. Video quality wasn't great but it wasn't bad 
either. I do not remember the original title. 

Strangely, i did find a copy which is with Polish translation. I am 
downloading it right now. The translation sounds me a bit silly, though may 
be its formally correct. 

The title I am downloading is "9 Kompania cd2 - The 9th Company (2005)" - this 
is the second half only of the movie. It is of better video quality, but 
still in Russian and with Polish translation.
