My adult school classroom has recently benefited from this site. It is very in-depth and other than the occasional getting lost in it, my students find themselves submersed in information.
Technical Remarks:
Very deep site.

In use for the last two weeks. Cumulatively 4-5 hours.

I have used this site as a resource for the Soviet Union topic in Social Studies. It has a good representation of video, audio, text and images which is a good learning tool and resource for teachers and students. The timeline is easy to choose a period in Russian history to study.
Technical Remarks:
The videos can take some time to download, depending on the processing and internet speed.
