Erm®, whilst probing me little grey cells...Whoops Apocalypse (the film) came to mind.

Basically all footage of Russi....separatist forces in the Ukraine seem to be based on a prior work, as mentioned about.

Link to Youtube for journalist disinformation training exercise, about 8 minutes and 30 seconds in..

For going to time in the youtube, you add an ampersand then the letter t, then equals sign and then a number of minutes followed by an m, and then the number of seconds and s.

so you get
http: // www . youtube . com / v=id123 &t=8m23s

Thats youtube with id 123 starting at 8 minutes 23 seconds.

Thanks [pashute]. That's pretty much the first thing I do these days since the spate of posters who think that being compelled to choose a category outside of other:general cramps their artistic freedom.

And I'd noted the category and reference to Apocalypse Now. I guess I was just hoping for more.

Erm®, Atlanta in flames? Romance in a world gone mad? Sorry, this is the best I can do...

PS thanks Pashute, didn't know how to do Youtube link syntax.

PPS Found a list of training videos, but the Alexei Sayle's "How not to be like a Russian paratrooper" video doesn't seem to be listed. Link.
