I used Google Translate to translate the pages.  Unfortunately, it's only
able to (roughly) translate the text, and quite a bit of what looks like
text is actually part of an image, and is thus left untranslated.  It helps
if (like me) you took Russian in high school or otherwise can transliterate
the Cyrillic (I've forgotton most of the Russian I learned, but still remember
the alphabet) since they're quite a few cognates between the languages.

Any way, here are the titles over the videos:

"Route Kondratyuka" about Yuri Kondratyuk (there's a Wikipedia article
about him if, like most people, you've never heard of him).  The title
apparently refers to a discovery of his, the Kondratyuk route or Kondratyuk
loop, what's often called the free-return trajectory in English.
