The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming is a 1966 DeLuxe Color American comedy film directed by Norman Jewison in Panavision. It is based on the Nathaniel Benchley novel The Off-Islanders, was adapted for the screen by William Rose; the film depicts the chaos following the grounding of the Soviet submarine Спрут off a small New England island during the Cold War. The film stars Carl Reiner, Eva Marie Saint, Alan Arkin in his first major film role, Brian Keith, Theodore Bikel, Jonathan Winters, Paul Ford. A Soviet Navy submarine called Спрут draws too close to the New England coast one September morning when its captain wants to take a good look at America and runs aground on a sandbar near the fictional Gloucester Island, from other references in the movie, is located off the coast of Cape Ann or Cape Cod and has a significant population of summer visitors but is now down to about 200 local residents. Rather than radio for help and risk an embarrassing international incident, the captain sends a nine-man landing party, headed by his zampolit Lieutenant Yuri Rozanov, to find a motor launch to help free the submarine from the bar.

The men arrive at the house of a vacationing playwright from New York City. Whittaker is eager to get his wife Elspeth and two children, obnoxious but precocious nine and half-year-old Pete and three-year-old Annie, off the island now that summer is over. Pete tells his disbelieving dad that "nine Russians with tommy guns" dressed in black uniforms are near the house, but Walt is soon met by Rozanov and one of his men, Alexei Kolchin, who identify themselves as strangers on the island and ask if there are any boats available. Walt is skeptical and asks if they are "Russians with machine guns," which startles Rozanov into admitting that they are Russians, pulling a gun on Walt. Walt provides information on the military and police forces of their island, Rozanov promises no harm to the Whittakers if they hand over their station wagon. Elspeth provides the car keys, but before the Russians depart, Rozanov orders Alexei to prevent the Whittakers from fleeing. An attractive 18-year-old neighbor, Alison Palmer, who works as a babysitter for Annie, arrives to work that day and finds herself captive as well.

The Whittakers' station wagon runs out of gasoline, forcing the Russians to walk. They steal an old sedan from the postmistress. Level-headed Police Chief Link Mattocks and his bumbling assistant Norman Jonas try to squelch an inept citizens' militia led by the blustering Fendall Hawkins Meanwhile, accompanied by Elspeth and Pete, manages to overpower Alexei, because the Russian is reluctant to hurt anyone. During the commotion, Alexei flees, but when Walt and Elspeth and Pete leave to find help, he reappears at the house and retrieves his weapon, where only Alison and Annie remain. Alexei says that although he does not want any fighting, he must obey his superiors in guarding the residence, he promises he offers to surrender his submachine gun as proof. Alison tells him that she does not need to hand over his firearm. Alexei and Alison become attracted to each other, taking a walk along the beach with Annie, finding commonality despite their different cultures and the Cold War hostility between their countries.

Trying to find the Russians on his own, Walt is re-captured by them in the telephone central office. After subduing Mrs. Foss and tying her and Walt together, disabling the island's telephone switchboard, seven of the Russians appropriate civilian clothes from a dry cleaners, manage to steal a cabin cruiser, head to the submarine, still aground on the sandbar. Back at the Whittaker house and Alison have kissed and fallen in love. At the phone exchange and Mrs. Foss, still tied together, manage to hop outside the office but fall down the stairs to the sidewalk below, they are discovered there by Pete, who help untie them. They return to their house and Walt shoots at and kills Rozanov, who had arrived there just before they did. With the misunderstandings cleared up, the Whittakers and Alexei decide to head into town together to explain to everyone just what is going on; as the tide rises, the sub floats off the sandbar before the cabin cruiser arrives, it proceeds on the surface to the island's main harbor.

Chief Mattocks, having investigated and debunked the rumor of an aerial assault, arrives back in town with the civilian militia. With Rozanov acting as translator, the Russian captain threatens to open fire on the town with his deck gun and machine guns unless the seven missing sailors are returned to him. Chief Mattocks warns the Soviet officer, "You come in here scaring people half to death, you steal cars and motorboats, you cause damage to private property and you threaten the whole community with grievous bodily harm and maybe murder. Now, we ain't going to take any more of that, see? We may be scared, but maybe we ain't so scared as you think we are, see? Now you say you're going to blow up the town, huh? Well, I say, all right! You start shooting, see what happens!" As the Captain and Chief Mattocks glare at each other, two small boys go up in the church steeple to see better. With tension approachin

The brush-tailed porcupines are a genus, Atherurus, of Old World porcupines found in Asia or Africa. Th The brush-tailed porcupines have bodies covered in quills like their New World relatives; these quills are shorter and not as visually prominent as those seen in the genus Hystrix, but more so than in Trichys. They have a prominent tuft on the tip of their tails; the tail breaks off when the animal is threatened. Their bodies are somewhat rat-like, they are forest dwellers and nocturnal, feed on vegetation, but may take insects or carrion. The animals may live in social groups numbering six to eight; the longevity record for a captive animal was 23 years. Due to their small size, it is a popular brushmeat to the urban and rural residents of Gabon, Cameroon or Congo; the two species of Atherurus, an Asian and an African variety, are: A. africanus – African brush-tailed porcupine A. macrourus – Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine The brush-tailed porcupine has many native predators: leopards, large raptors and snakes.

The brush-tailed porcupine is hunted in such large quantities, many in those areas fear that it is no longer a sustainable option. Nowak, Ronald M. 1999. Walker's Mammals of the World, 6th edition.
