Soyuz cockpit ascent video

I read on an earlier post that there is video available of the ascent of
Soyuz from the view of inside the craft looking at the crew.
Can anyone point me to that link?
Thank you very much.

Very neat. Kind of interesting to watch the cosmonaut in the center
couch using the "Swizzle Stick" to push buttons and then stow under his
arm the same way every time so he can ensure he can find it the next
time he needs it.

Since the way the windows are arranged relative to the crew's head
doesn't seem to allow one to see out, I wonder if a few strategically
arranged mirrors might be on board to enable to the crew to look out
while in their couchs.

If you haven't already, watch one of the Soyuz launches in real-time --
including prelaunch activities.

If they aren't streamed on NASA TV, there can be found streaming off some
..ru news sites.

They are really cool to watch not only because the Russians have different
"approaches" to things, but they also allow the media to get more "intimate"
and close to activities (compared to NASA). The media even shows them doing
their traditions, which I've never really seen NASA TV do of shuttle
launches. (Only NASA tradition I know of though is the playing of one hand
of poker between the mission commander and mission control, along with the
breakfast thing.)

Highlights for the Ruskies include:

- Signing the door of their dormatory before they leave
- Blessing by a priest dude
- Friends and family being right there on the pad as they get into the
elevator to go to the top
- Cosmonaut's ****ing on one of the wheels of the bus that drives them out
to the pad. This tradition is said to have been started by Yuri Gagarin,
but I think it was probably started by Laika (first dog in space)! :-)

I'm glad you guys posted this. I have always wanted to see a complete Soyuz
launch. It was so enthralling I couldn't look away as the two guys in the
shot turned page after page.......after...........pa.....

Then things really got interesting after second stage burnout. The TV image
blinked off momentarily and when it came back on Ansari thought it was over
and got out of her suit only she goofed and all of her clothes came off.
Then the third stage lit an there she was completely naked pressed down on
the two guys' laps who were trying to help her back in her seat without
touching any of her nonregulation parts. She was giggling to beat the band.
It was hilarious.

I woke up an hour later with drool all over my desk.
