There are some great sources online for viewing Russian movies with subtitles, but it can be hard to find them if you don’t know what you’re looking for. I intend to list ones that I find here to help others!
I used to list some movies here, but I realized many people missed them by thinking this was just a column header, so I moved them to a sub-page. Click on the “Russian Movies with subtitles” menu link to see that page again.
Other resources for Russian movies with English subtitles:
- birubir, a fellow who lives in Moscow, has uploaded an amazing amount of movies to the site veehd.com. You need to download a plug-in to watch movies there, by the way, so if you are accessing the web via a public computer, you might not be able to watch them.
Hi! I’m an italian students of foreign languages. I want just to thank you for this website! It’s very usefull to me waching film in Russian! Ja ljublju ruskij jazyk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At http://digital-cake.net I collected not only Russian movies but also animation films and some series with English subtitles.
Nice work…can you put more movies in russian subs?
I have a couple of other movies with Russian subtitles and will post them soon.
Ok thanks…nice i will wait for them.
Well, I watched part of “The Idiot” and I must say that it is wonderful! Your plan to upload an episode once a week is a great idea because as you know, one has time to learn at an agreeable and reasonable pace. Certainly, the enjoyment of watching is made all the more enjoyable with anticipation!
Once again, thank you!
ah, so this is where i should comment on the idiot. brilliant, loving it so much, thankyou. the prince looks exactly as i imagined him to look. such a great cast,and filmed in st peterburg the year before i moved there, so it’s all nostalgia for me.
I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying it! It is exceptional. You are so fortunate to have spent time in St. Petersburg! I haven’t had the chance to go yet, but I sure look forward to going someday.
Are there additional episodes of “The Idiot” forthcoming?? I sure hope so, as I have been thoroughly enjoying the production. Now a 62 year old, I have just recently returned to my study of Russian – which I had taken for only two years back in my college days. OMG…. some 40 years ago!!!! Please keep up the great work with your Blogsite. Я ето люблю !
Спасибо,
Миша
Здравствуйте !
ваш сайт гениальный !! я так рад что, я нашал
его. большой спасибо !
I’ve being trying to learn Russian and I feel that I’m ready for the next step: watching and understanding Russian movies with the help of …subtitles. So I’m not THAT ready after all! I kept searching through Yandex.ru 10 minutes a day and got a little bit discouraged, not that it’s impossible. Your site will allow me to save many hours of search and it is so great that you’ll keep updating it.
Really… thank you, great job. I can’t wait to start with The Idiot. I was told that mini-series was a total success and very well filmed.
May I make a suggestion ? Kin-Dza-Dza. Such a great science fiction concept and funny in my opinion.
до свиданья!

PS: I hope Russia and Canada get in the finals for the Vancouver’s Olympics. That’d be a great match, wouldn’t it
В данном контексте правильно будет “большое” а не “большой”

In my blog I have a section for learners of Russian as a foreign language, in which there are many posts about Russian films with videos, transcripts and word lists.

You can use them to learn more about Russian cinema and practice your Russian.
Спасибо огромное!! Это так классно что Вы делаете!!This is a great website! I just returned from studying in Russia and have missed hearing Russian since I’ve been home. The subtitles are fantastic, and I’m excited for more films with Russian subtitles. Thank you again!

Кому интересно то есть хороший сайт с Русскими фильмами и тв, http://russianremote.tv. Сайт платный, но качество безумное и огромный выбор.
hello, i’m desperately trying to find a source for DVDs of some great Russian movies i’d like to add to my collection, such as “Fall of Empire”, “Empire Under Strike”, “Gentlemen Officers: Save the Emperor”, etc. I can’t understand why these movies, some of which I’ve watched online enough to be seriously interested in them in their entirety, don’t seem to be for sale with English subs…anyone think they can help? thanks much. it’d be a shame not to be able to get my hands on these gems. :=)
Здесь вы можете посмотреть русский фильм с английскими титрами “Гостья из будущего” http://kiingereza.ru/hudozhesvennye/russian-films-with-english-subtitle?start=5
This is beautiful! Russian simplicity and efficiency will never cease to amaze me. Even the language is simply rich. Я уверен что Русский язык – самый богатый язык во всем мире. Am African. Nigerian to be precise.
Hey thanks for posting these!
I am learning russian advanced and this is great for listening + comprehension.
So glad to hear it!
Thanks a lot for your site: it is great!! I’m Austrian living in Italy, like Mike I returned on my Russian studies after a couple of years and I’m enjoying so much learning this beautiful language. Bortko’s Idiot is a wonderful movie, it induced me reading again the novel. What about Russian cartoons? Somebody could suggest any? Большое спасибо!!!
Thank you very much for sharing. At least I’ve watched “Moscow does not believe in tears”, which I heard about a long time ago.
Privet Everyone,
Great site indeed!
I know that TV-shows are not as classy and valuable as good Russian films, but recently I have acquired a few episodes the Belarussian version (they still speak Russian) of Big Bang Theory and the first season of the Russian made Как я встретил вашу маму. Is there any chance I can find Russian subtitles for them? I have spent a couple of hours googling, with no success so far…
Strex, I don’t think that it is possible to find these films, by the way, they are sh*t
It’s better to find some original russian movies, they can be interesting and you have better chance to find them with subs.
sorry for bad English, my native is russian. If u would like to speak, chat or u have questions – skype me: kurump
hello everybody, i m looking for subtitles(in russian language or english) for russian movies.could anybody give me any help?
Hello everybody,
I found your site on the Internet. I am looking for a Russian movie “Tihii Don” (Quiet Don). Does anybody know where I can rent this film in Vancouver (with English subtitles)? Thank you in advance.
Elene
Elene, did you find “Tihii Don” with English subtitles? I can send links to you. Please send your e-mail address to me.
What a neat idea! This is how I started learning English (by watching movies).
Hi, I’m new to Russian language. Just started some months ago, but I love it and your work just makes it easier. I find it’s a perfect complement to the grammar lessons and this is how the brain best retains new words and expressions, by watching them being used in films. Keep up the good work, please! Love from Spain.
Thanks! And good luck with your Russian studies! Always remember: It’s a process. Don’t worry about mistakes. Just keep involved in the language and the mistakes will fade away in time all by themselves.
I’m looking for a Russian comedy film I saw on R’n TV in 1999 – so the film was made earlier – about a prison camp that was preparing for Lenin’s birthday. It was hilarious (really!) but I can’t remember the title and would love to find it again. Any help appreciated!

The title to the film is probably “Комедия строгого режима”-a severe regime comedy. The title uses a play of words. A phrase “Колиния строгого режима” means something like a severe regime colony (prison), a place with a lot of disciplinary restrictions forserious criminals. Колония-комедия sound similar.
Does anybody know where I can get the English subtitles for the film Beremennyy (Pregnant) 2011? I love the movie but I can’t understand it, I’m new to Russian language, just started last week. I would love to watch more Russian movies.
