help with visa

[soidisantfille.livejournal.com]

I realize this is not specifically-related to language study, but I figured you're all very knowledgeable about these things.

I'm going to Moscow in August to study at CIE. Problem is, the school says they can't issue me my invitation until the end of June, when I will have already left Canada (where I am from) for the Czech Republic. My question is: if I have them send my invitation to the Russian embassy of the Czech Republic, can I apply for my visa there?

If anyone else has had a similar experience, please do share. I'm not sure what to do, and I can't find any straightforward information on the internet.

Russian RSS feeds?

Does anyone know of any good Russian news sites that have RSS feeds?

Ok, I found on adoptedfromrussia.com a dvd for the Russian Winny-the-Pooh. My only problem is that it won't play in American DVD players. Does anyone know where I can go to find more Winny-the-Pooh DVDs that will play in American DVD players? Thank you so much.
