[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/12/google-play-books-movies-in-russia/)

A little over a month after announcing [the imminent arrival](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/08/google-play-movies-music-reach-australia-canada-and-europe/) of more Google Play content to a few areas around the globe, the Mountain View-based company has let it be known that a couple of its media services are now also available in Russia. While today's announcement only includes the ability to rent / buy movies and books (purchases only) from the [Play](http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/google-play-replaces-android-market/) store, something tells us Russian users invested in [Google's extensive ecosystem](http://www.engadget.com/tag/google+play/) will still be happy to hear they, too, can get a piece of the pie. Additionally, and not surprisingly, the search giant is quick to point out that there's a ton of Russian-language video and reading content, including films such as _Shadow Boxing_ and bestseller books from authors like Tatyana Tolstoy.
