When is a title in quotation marks that is not preceded by the type of media declined?

Question

From examples that I have seen, I understand that titles of media (books, films etc.) enclosed in quotation marks that are nouns (possibly modified by adjectives) or adjectives in the nominative case and that are not preceded by the type of media are declined. For example, Я прочитала «Вечного мужа». Актёр из «Утомлённых солнцем» подозревается в убийстве.My question is: are there any other types of grammatical structures for titles within quotation marks that are declined?(My apologies if there is already an answer in English available on the internet. The only related page I could find was [this question on Yahoo! Answers](http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110202190327AAjkht8), which answers a slightly different question (should one write ‘`see: “Venera-9”`’ as ‘`см.: «Венера-9»`’ or ‘`см.: «Венеру-9»`’?). I also do not understand why `«Венера-9»` should not be declined for this example.)

Answer 1

The key here is understanding that a Russian sentence has to be fully integrated. If a verb governs the accusative, as this one does, then what follows it must be in the accusative. If I say, "I love 'War and Peace;." that goes into Russian as "Я люблю 'Войну и мир." Why? because the title of the work is simply a noun phrase and must be treated as such

You also ask about "См." This is a translation of the English "see," which is an imperative, and that imperative must be respected. The verb governs the accusative, and therefore one writes "см. Венеру."
