The fall of Byzantine empire

Friend referred me to two movies about the fall of Byzantine empire.
One of the movies truly sucks :)

However, the other was very good. Unfortunately, the movie is in... Russian and have no subtitles.

If you know Russian, watch it. You will find lots of parallels between late Byzantine empire, Venice, Turks and today's big countries such USA, Germany, China and so on.
