As an amplified cello gives way to a few plaintive vocal notes, the stylish, young crowd, outfitted in slim-cut jeans and equipped with the latest mobile gadgets, draws closer to lead singer Michael Pitt.

     CINEMATIC DISCOURSES OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN RUSSO-JAPANESE BILATERAL RELATIONS

"Since their earliest encounters in Northeast Asia, Russia and Japan have been rivals for territory and influence.1 In the modern era, popular memory of hostility and mutual mistrust between the states begins with the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05.
