There is poster/foto in Ross Geller "Monica's Brother's" appartment. It's russian. Anyone knows what it is? First word seems like Chtobi (That)? In Photo Looks like man reading book. My Question is.. Is it moive poster or some historical foto if so where can i get more info?
I thought that was in Joey&Rachel's house? Because I saw something in Russian and it looked like something from the Lenin/Stalin era because it was talking about working and brotherhood(i'm russian).

I know what poster you're talking about, but I have no idea what it says. You can get a good look at the poster in episode 504 TOW Phoebe Hates PBS where Ross and Rachel walk past it several times.
yeah, i don't know who's house it is but i know its rusisan and i know it has some working guy on it and it says some popular phrase during the Communist era.
If someone can write it on here (don't know how), then maybe i can translate correctly.
Are you talking about the scene in 504 "TOW Phoebe Hates PBS", where Rachel comes to his apartment before they go to the cinema to watch "How Stella Got Her Groove Back"? If you zoom up the DVD at 18:49, the slogan at the bottom of the poster looks something like...
..which isn't spot on, but we cannot render the cyrillic lettering. There are several similarities between the two lines, so the slogan could be poetic; but not even Marita Bakken, who is very intelligent and lives in a country next to Russia, could figure it out. Sorry.
Okay i know what the numbers are supposed to be: Its in transliteration this: Chtobi stroyitz nada znata, chtobi znatz nada------(don't know the last one). But basically it says in order to build you have to know and in order to know........
I believe the last word is oocheet(za), which would make the entire slogan chtobi stroyitz nada znata, chtobi znat nada oocheet(za), and the translation:
In order to build you have to know and in order to know you have to learn.

Oh, *thankyou* Anna, you have finished that off nicely. It's so great to have these little questions cleared up, I'm sure Marita will agree with me (we were puzzling over this on ATF last August). And thanks to Shannon for raising the question in the first place.
Now what we need to know is, who's that woman printed on Phoebe's top in 804 "TOW the Videotape"? Is she an historical figure, like say, Eva Per�n? Or maybe a Hollywood star like Joan Crawford or Bette Davis?
I've seen that picture at B. Dalton book store. Since they post authors, I'm assuming it's an author. I don't know who, but I'll stop by my local B. Dalton on the way home from work tomorrow and find the name on the poster.
When you say you don't know the last word, is that because of my pathetic attempts to render the cyrillic lettering, or are you actually looking at the poster in Ross's apartment?

You're welcome, Shannon. Ask & you shall receive. :)
There are four Region 1 box sets available in North America, I think you'll have to go to Amazon.com for those, and the best place for the Region 2 DVDs of Seasons 1-7 is http://www.dvdzone2.com/ IMHO.
However, for DVDs dubbed into German, these do exist, but apart from saying in Germany, I don't know where. However, unless you need them for someone whose English is much worse than yours, I'd advise you to get the DVDs in the original language.
