 Can recommend the Dirty Money and Rotten series on Netflix. Episode 1 of Dirty Money: The VW NoX is good and very well put together, if from a US perspective. Also Icarus is well worth watching, it's about an amateur cyclist who want's to dope and documents the whole process but then the story twists to the Russian doctor who was head of the Russian WADA and the Sochi Olympics.

I've even tried one or two apps/sites that are supposed to be able to determine the name of a hummed tune (such as Midomi) but I think my humming is probably a little off-key

Almost certainly the Red Army Choir and I recognised it immediately and can hum a lot more of it.
But as for what it is and the composer, my aging brain can't dig that out......

I thought I remembered it from Hunt for Red October but couldn't find it there. Almost sounds like the Russian national anthem. It's bugging me now...

At first listen I thought it was from Last of the Mohicans but I think others are right, actually sounds more communist.
I am imagining everyone is now on YouTube listening to stirring Russian music or watching clips of Enemy at the Gates!

Still can't find it! Well I'm disappointed. I was certain one of you highly cultured lot would know it immediately.  I'm sure it's a very famous piece that has been used in at least one classic blockbuster movie. It's really bugging me now so I'm going to set a challenge/competition ... First person to tell me the correct title wins 5 mBTC (ie 5 milliBitcoin, worth approx £35 at today's price)
