body: I was looking to watch a Soviet movie from the 1970's ([Moscow-Cassiopeia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow-Cassiopeia), nothing with much communist propaganda, just a teen comedy). I thought that this movie would be only possible to find through torrent sites, but I was surprised to see it for sale on [iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/moscow-cassiopeia/id1062868381). Who would be Apple licensing this movie from? There was an embargo against Soviet Union during the 1980's, wouldn't have this disabled any copyright from before this embargo?
