1. I have seen the Russian version of Solaris

It is better than the version with George Clooney.

3. I liked BOTH versions

They both went after different aspects of the story (Tarkovsky's more on the science bent), and they both succeeded very well.

2. This is a huge loss.

RIP Lem - you changed the world for many, and expanded our imaginations in terms of discussing what forms intelligence might take.
