To the delight of the author's Russian fans.

Shame, though, that Tolkien's eventually~renowned masterpiece didn't receive the international recognition it so~richly deserved during its creator's lifetime!

... to be a bit more precise, having replaced an earlier link (which wasn't obtainable) I've since discovered on perusing the new one, that the 1991 made-for-tv film was actually based on Tolkien's 'The Fellowship of the Ring', and is, in fact, the only adaption that had been available ahead of the "Lord Of The Rings" movie made for cinemas.
