   Thanks for the list, can’t wait to see them.
   Let me contribute to the list. I recently saw Tsar, by Pavel Lungin, based on the life of Ivan the Terrible and, in particular, his relationship with Metropolitan Philip. The subtitles were atrocious, comparable to some of the torture scenes (understandably, it’s a very violent film) but I still found it excellent. The main actor, Piotr Mamonov, was absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere was superb. You really got a feel for life in those days in Russia.
   P.S. Prisoner of Caucasus is by Pushkin. Maybe you got it mixed with Hadji Murat?

     @Batboy Batboy,
     thank you very much for the info. I have not seen Tsar but heard about it. As far as “The Prisoner of the Caucasus” , I am pretty sure it was written by Tolstoy, just like my post says 🙂 Here is a Wikipedia link.

   Batboy:

   I stand corrected … but the Wikipedia also says “Название рассказа является отсылкой к названию поэмы Пушкина «Кавказский пленник».” I guess we’re both right. 😉

   Jenya:

   I believe they are simply 2 different works with similar titles 🙂

   Thanks, Jenya. I’ve been noticing a lot of your submissions on Reddit recently and they are usually very interesting and helpful.

   Great post, Jenya. There is a couple I haven’t seen myself. Thanks for the links!

   It’s funny, I actually translated the subs for the Brest Fortress. Not sure if my translation is the one on youtube (if the youtube translation is bad, then it’s not mine ;)).

   I also like Плюс один (http://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/395697/), but I couldn’t find it with English subtitles. It is spot on in talking to Russian inhibitions.

     @Maria Маша, that is so cool! I never had the pleasure of translating a movie. I bet it was an interesting task 🙂 .

   Brandon Price:

   I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I noticed that last year’s “Stalingrad” is available on iTunes along with *many* ways to watch it, including in Russian with English subtitles. I’ll be renting it soon to check it out.

   Brandon Price:

   Oh, and thank you SO MUCH for these recommendations. I feel so overwhelmed with finding good, modern Russian movies. I appreciate your recommendations (and I’m excited I’ve only seen one of the movies on the list).

   Thank you everyone for chiming in! Let’s keep building the list 🙂 .

    I am not sure the place you’re getting your info, but great topic. I must spend some time learning much more or figuring out more. Thank you for wonderful information I was searching for this information for my mission.

    TsUNaMy WaVe:

    Thank you very much! I’m starting to learn Russian and I already know that the best way to learn a language is through movies/series (That’s how I’ve learned Japanese). I’m really glad I found this post of yours =]

    Jagrid:

    I’ve been buying some russian movies in my attempt to learn the language. Here are a few I’ve liked. I’ve bought most of mine via Amazon.

    Стиляги (Hipsters) – musical drama, 2008 – This is definitely one of my favorites so far. It’s a musical in the spirit of Moulin Rouge (though more retrained) about the “Hipsters” rebelling against Soviet conformity via loud clothes and jazz music. The songs are, from what I gather, re-worked versions of popular 90s era rock songs. They’re catchy enough that you’ll be singing along in no time even with very little knowledge of Russian.

    Волкодав (Wolfhound) – fantasy, 2006 – This is a film that brings back fond memories of the 1980s sword and sorcery movies like Conan the Barbarian and Clash of the Titans.

    Чёрная Молния (Black Lightning) – super hero, 2009 – This is, essentially beat for beat, a Russian version of Spiderman minus the web slinging and truly outlandish villains. It’s silly, as replacing the web slinging is a flying car, but I found it to be quite fun.

    Someone else mentioned Stalingrad – it can be recommended just because it’s one of the few that are fairly accessible since it had an actual release in American theatres, but the movie itself is some strange blend of Pearl Harbor and 300.

    Steve:

    Thanks for all the great suggestions. One I saw recently was Как я провёл этим летом (How I ended this summer). I can’t find a full movie on youtube, but a version with good subtitles is on iTunes.

    Tamara:

    Please, help me to find subtitles for Legend no 17? It is such a cool movie, I really want to show to my international friends..

    Phil Obidzinski:

    Спасибо!I have seen some of them (great films) might also suggest the miniseries “Бригада” and “Особенности национальной рыбалки” 🙂

    Fernando Galindo:

    Hi! I just love this entry. Thx. I am a fan of russian literatura, I will love to watch all the new series, but it’s almost imposible to find subtitles. I dream to watch Life and fate, but it has been imposible, I searched everywhere. Right now I would like to watch Dostoyevski, the series of 2011. But again… subtitles. It´s like a nightmare, I mean it can be that hard to release the movies with english subtitles at leat, or italian, or spanish or portuguese, I mean… If perhaps you know a site or anyplace where I can find them, please let me know. ThX

    Chapter1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxCZbjXUxpQ
    Russian series. This nice story began in 1981, back at USSR times. Two families, two stories. At first it looks that their lives are so different. But suddenly the destinies of these families get intertwined. The story goes through all USSR times and up to modern Russia of 2011. Very nice family story that bring up thoughts about how unpredictable and surprising is our life. Make you think about family and life values. 12 chapters are very excited to watch, events are moving rapidly. There is always this exiting feeling that you can’t wait to see the next chapter. Also these series reflect very well the atmosphere and routine life of soviet society, as well as modern Russia being.

    AWGR:

    I’m not set up with my cyrillic keyboard do this is going to be all in English – switching back and forth from a virtual keyboard takes WAY too long – apologies.
    Amazon has (on instant video) 3 Russian TV series with subtitles: Pure Gold, The Day After, and The Three Musketeers – all worth watching, as well as quite a few Prime Instant movies available.
    A general search for “Russian movies English subtitles” will give you everything they have – and more – sometimes you can tell it’s utterly unrelated, others – not as obvious.
    These are some of the ones I’ve watched and enjoyed.
    I thought all of the following: No Love in the City, 1, 2, and 3; Yolki, Yolki 2 and Yolki 3 (also called in English, respectively; Six, Seven, and Eight Degrees of Celebration) along with Kiss them All (or Gorko!) would be terrible, but actually found them hilarious. I have pretty juvenile taste. They’re also quite useful in that they were released in the last 5-6 years.
    NightWatch and DayWatch are Science Fiction released in 04 and 07.
    12 is excellent – based on 12 Angry Men.
    Law of Corruption, The Maltese Cross, Brigada Legatee are all good action adventure movies. I was surprised to see my 2 favorite of this genre missing above – maybe I didn’t see them, but Brother and Brother 2 are well worth watching. YouTube has Brother in 8 or 9 parts with subtitles which was kind of hard to watch, but Top-Movies has both.
    Alien Girl is not Prime and I wouldn’t actually pay for it, if you can see if for free and have nothing else to do…
    There are several others I haven’t watched yet, but Amazon is a pretty good source.
    Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears should probably be on any list. I have it on disc which is cumbersome, but I know it’s on YouTube.
    As far as I could tell NetFlix was pretty useless, I signed on to my son’s account to see what they had and it was lame. Judging by the information I saw on Imbd, Hulu Plus might have a lot of Russian movies, has anyone every checked there?

      Jenya:

      @AWGR Wow, AWGR! Thank you very much for a very detailed comment. I am sure a lot of our readers will find this information useful! Moscow Does not Believe in Tears is definitely worth watching, I am pretty fond of it myself. I saw the movie 12 a few years ago on a big screen, here in Detroit. I thought it was pretty interesting, however, as long as were are talking about Nikita Mikhalkov (the director), I like his movie The Barber of Siberia far better :-).

    I’ve been browsing on-line more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It¡¦s pretty value enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet can be much more useful than ever before.

    Appreciating the time and energy you put into your blog and in depth information you provide. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed material. Great read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

    Justyna:

    Oh, it’s great you shared some Russian movies with English subs! 😀 I couldn’t find subs to some of them for ages! To tell the truth, I’m still looking for subtitles to some Russian stuff. Maybe someone will read my comment and be able to help and find “Dostoevsky” (“Достоевский”)(TV series from 2011) and “Demons” (“Бесы”) (TV series from 2014)with English subtitles. Hopefully…

    Peter:

    HELP!!!!

    Not so long ago you did a blog about writing/talking about films, with really useful phrases like “it is set in …”. Now I come to actually need it, I can’t find it. Could you send a link to it. I was thinking of writing about a Russian film I like a lot (‘Everybody dies but me’) but now I’ve just started watching another film (‘Above dark waters’) and will describe one of them one day soon! Thanks a lot. Peter.

    Peter:

    Oh, I didn’t know I was writing for public consumption! Anyway, I’ve found the Blog – ‘Storytelling in Russian’ and the phrase сюжет /действие разворачивается. I would recommend the film “над тёмной водой” … it’s on YouTube but it doesn’t have English subtitles … but it’s a fantastic insight into what life (I imagine) was like in the USSR in the 1960s. In fact, I thought it was made in the 1960s but it was made in 1993 and has some very ‘adult’ scenes which I don’t think would have been tolerated in the USSR. I find I can understand brief passages but you don’t need to understand all that’s being said in order to understand what is going on. The link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT4Fp_Q_0BA Peter.

    I’ve been searching the internet (vainly) for a Russian movie made in the 2000s but whose title name I can’t remember. It’s about two coming out of age girls who meet совсем случайно and become friends while running away to avoid life’s adversities. One of them (the little one, who was an orphan) dies in the arms of the other after being struck by a car. Once again, do you happen to know what movie I’ve been babbling about?
