Soviet/Russian Space Program Documentary

[Columbia42]

Having not found a single halfway decent documentary about the Soviet/Russian space program, I have decided to (no facepalms please) make my own. To this end I am trying to find footage of everything having to do with the Soviet/Russian space program. This, it turns out, is extremely difficult and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Taming of the Fire is not a documentary, but a full-fledged movie based on real events. The Krylia Rossii studio (http://wingstv.ru) has done some documentaries on aerospace history.

I have a full collection of Krylia Rossii documentaries on Russian aviation with Rus/Eng soundtracks, but did they really filmed anything about space? I thought "Империя Королёва" (Korolev's Empire) were the best series on the topic, although very much centered on specific people.

The major part of Soviet documentary shooting was done by Центрнаучфильм (Tsentrnauchfilm - http://www.cnf.ru/), some parts have been seen on UTube, and may be available from here (http://cnfilm.pixiesoft.ru/). There was one cameraman who did much of early classified shooting both of atomic tests, and space/missile launches - Vladimir Andreevich Suvorov.

Does anyone know where to find Taming of the Fire? I've been searching all over the Internet and I can't find a version that has subtitles.
