My top Russian Tv-Shows

Despite this being mainly a mandarinblr, I still try to practise my other languages so here are some of the most interesting tv-shows in russian for my fellow russian-learners and speakers and anyone interested.

Kitchen - Кухня This show has several spin-offs including Hotel Eleon and Grand which I will not mention as by the end of the last spin-off there are literally no characters from the original cast and the plot slightly goes of the rails. The actual show is set a french restaurant in Moscow where Max Lavrov, who just finished his military service decided to work at. The show follows the various challenges that Max faces at his new workplace, including the foul-tempered but very talented Chef Viktor Barinov who has a drinking problem and other interesting characters. It's quite funny and heart-warming, and it's a must-watch imo.

Youth - Молодёжка A pretty standard sports series tv plot. The hockey-team "Bears" are a meh team at best, but that all changes when a former National Hockey League player turned coach shows up to make a proper team out of them. I only watched the first season because after that the plot got a tad boring for me, but as far as sports series go, pretty good.

Law of the Lawless (Not the 1964 film!) - Бригада A cult-classic staple of only 15 episodes. The plot is a bit over the place at the beginning, as opening episodes sequence is a flashback to the start of the final episode but after that it's chronological, with the first episode w english subtitles here. 4 best friends start out as youths from early 1990s to 2000s, with one returning home after finishing his army service with plans for uni and the others just starting their lives. However, the Perestroika had significantly changed their lives, so eventually the gang turns from racketeering and petty crime to slowly becoming the mafia. The opening theme is worth watching alone, but then again I'm biased.

How I became Russian - Как я стал русским This comedy show is quite dear to me, as it follows an American journalist with russian and slavic roots navigating life and work in Russia as he works on a story about life in Russia for a major newspaper back home. He's back in his homeland but as a foreigner who finds his heritage utterly confusing. This series resonates with me, as despite having a good grasp of my cultures languages and customs, I still feel disconnected from my heritage at times, and this show has been a reassuring reminder that not being 100% attuned with your heritage is okay, and that there are many different ways of re-connecting with your culture.

Closed school - Закрытая Школа I was slightly tramuatized by this show when I first watched it 4ish years ago, in part due to how unhinged and off the rails the plot slowly but surely becomes. A descent into madness. Andrei and his sister are sent to study at the Logos boarding school, but are then informed that their parents have perished. Andrei doesn't believe this, so he sets off to investigate with his new friends and investigate he does. There are also some other background shenanigans going on, but the unraveling of the schools mystery remains the main interest, including its odd passageways and deeply disturbing history. As a thriller series, it honestly deserves that title.

Here are some shows that came out more recently that I think deserve a mention.

The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt- Слова пацана кровь на осфальте I've only seen a few episodes out of the 8, but it's very Brigada-esque so far. During the mid-late 1980s when Perestroika is going on and the USSR is soon to be no more, 14 year old Andrei is trying to survive as he's constantly bullied at school and by gang-members. He makes friends with one of said gang members Marat, as he slowly descends into the world of street life. I'll finish watching this series sometime probably.

The new guy - Новен��кий 16-year old Max moves from his glamorous life in Moscow to a small-town Yurovsk due to his parents constant arguing, where he immediately doesn't get along with his clasmmates who think him stuck-up and start bullying him. One day Max goes missing and his classmates are the obvious suspects, as slowly but surely secrets start to emerge revealing everyone's lies. A pretty good suspense/thriller show, which covers the topics of bullying, coming of age and what it means to be an adult pretty well, despite the 4th and final season being kind of lackluster.

Central Russia's Vampires - Вампиры средней полосы Where to even begin with this show. I don't know whether I should introduce the trailer or the opening theme song mv. Basically the life of a small and unconventional vampire family living in Smolensk, presumably in central Russia, who get disturbed when bodies with distinct bite marks are found nearby. This results in the Guardians (aka the guys keeping vampires a secret and ensuring that no one acts out) taking over and investigating with the vampire leader Svyatoslav Vernidubovich given a week to find and punish the culprit. My odd plot description aside, the cast is why I adore this show. The recently turned Gen-Z wannabe blogger Zhenyok, the thousand year old grandpa Svyatoslav, the constantly annoyed Dr. Zhan Ivanovich (who is actually french and decided to hang around after Napoleon was defeated) and his ex-wife The Countess who honestly should have a spin-off show and many more characters.

Doomsday - Конец Света Satan decides to come back to Earth and start the apocalypse, for which he needs his son Dimyan who should become the Antichrist but to his dismay, Dimyan doesn't really care about world domination and money, he just wants to get married to his fiancee Galya and live happily ever after. Chaos ensues as satan tries to persuade Dimyan to join him, whilst Angel vs Demon shenanigans occur in the background. I honestly had no idea that this type of show could even be produced due to the censors and yet it was. It's kind of slightly similar to Good Omens with all the apocalypse stuff and the Angels and Demons eventually teaming up? Good Omens adjacent. Except more gritty with much darker humour. The actor who plays satan is Yuri Kolokolnikov who actually starred in game of thrones so if you're a fan of his acting, do try this show.

Alisa can't wait - Алиса не может ждать Alisa is a 15-16 (don't remember her exact age) year old girl who is going blind and she decides to do something really drastic to ensure that her life will be comfortable after she loses all sight. There's a noticeable build-up to what she's actually planning during the episodes, as her homelife is less than ideal, with her older sister stuck in an unhappy marriage and a turbulent relationship with her parents. This is one of the few shows that really left a deep impression on me but it deals with some very sensitive and potentially upsetting topics so be aware if you're giving it a go.

This list may be updated in the future, so if there are any other shows that I may have missed do share them!

New theory:

Last episode is called "Perestroika" - restructuring.

Best case scenario - Margo displaces Irina as head of Roscosmos but doing that burns EVERY SINGLE BRIDGE (Aleida, Sergei, the West).

Worst case scenario - the entire first generation of this show bites the dust.

Sergei "Seryosha" Novikov es un Teniente Coronel ruso que ha servido a la URSS y actualmente sirve a Rusia, ha tenido una amplia trayectoria como soldado y es muy orgulloso de su hijo menor Evgeniy "Zhenya" Novikov, que quiere que siga sus pasos, ya que proviene de una familia de soldados héroes de la Unión Soviética. Ilya Morozov es un ex cantante de los años de la Perestroika y taxista ruso alcohólico, es el mejor amigo de Sergei, mientras que es viudo ya que su esposa y madre de su unico hijo Vasiliy murió en un accidente automovilístico. Dan Solokov es un trabajador ferroviario y ex deportista ruso que es muy amigo de Ilya y Sergei, mientras que quiere ayudar a su hijo Davey a cumplir su sueño de ser un gran equitador y llevarlo a Londres. Obviamente al igual que sus padres de jovenes, Evgeniy, Vasiliy y Davey forman un muy buen trio de amigos.

English:

The three Russian kids from South Park Evgeniy Novikov, Vasiliy Morozov and Davey Solokov (Evgeniy and Vasiliy are my OCs, but Vasiliy is an unnamed background character who has appeared in Season 22 Episode 8 "Buddha Box" and in episode 3 of season 14 "Medicinal Fried Chicken" while Davey is canon and starred with Butters in episode 4 of season 25 "Back to the Cold War") along with their respective parents Sergei Novikov, Ilya Morozov and Dan Solokov (Sergei is an OC, while Ilya (who is a character that appears in the series but represented only with the name "Russian taxi driver" in episode 4 of season 18 "Handicar", so I decided to name him and background to his character and Dan appears in the aforementioned "Back to the Cold War") and Dan are South Park canon characters. Sergei "Seryosha" Novikov is a Russian Lieutenant Colonel who has served the USSR and currently serves Russia, has had a long history as a soldier and is very proud of his youngest son Evgeniy "Zhenya" Novikov, who wants him to follow in his footsteps, as he comes from a family of Heroes of the Soviet Union soldiers. Ilya Morozov is a former singer of the Perestroiska years and alcoholic Russian taxi driver, he is Sergei's best friend, while he is a widower since his wife and mother of his only son Vasiliy died in a car accident.

What if episode suggestions

What if Captain America woke up in 1990

What if Thor was in Civil War

What if Loki uncovered the Winter Soldier

What do you think

The first one would be interesting. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall, the end of the Perestroika and the cold war... oh and the Irak war. Yeah it would have been interesting to have Steve through those.

Thor in CW would have definitely been Team Cap, no reasonable fan would argue, but that would make the team so OP. Although Vis was on Team Stark... Thor and Wanda team up against Vis (kindly that is, not too hard)? Gimme.

And Loki and the WS... oh what about doing to them what he did to Val in Ragnarok, get in their heads and remove all the shit Hydra did to them, now that could be interesting: people who have been mind-controlled dealing with a guy who wasn't entirely in control of his thoughts and actions during the NYC invasion.

I like it.

Hetalia: The Beautiful World Episode #2: Gakuen Hetalia: Go Forth! Newspaper Club!! First Half Transcript

This episode has the first part of the World Academy newspaper article on clubs, featuring the Madrigals, the Gastronauts, and the Hellfire Club.

Narrator: The Earth. She’s a big blue ball-buster who takes no crap from anyone. So like me. She’s home to the W Academy, a unique school where the countries of the world hone their mutant pow---ahem! I mean, live the student life.

{Caption #1: Hetalia Academy}

{Caption #2: Move Forward! Newspaper Club!}

{Caption #3: First half}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Caption: Newspaper Club, W Academy}

Germany: All right, the focus of our next issue is clubs.

High-pitched voice: Italy!

{Caption: Italy}

Italy: Aw, but blunt force trauma is such a downer, Germany! I think we should write about pasta or girls! Yeah!

{Caption: Germany}

Germany: I don’t mean the weapons, idiot. I mean the student organizations.

Italy: It was an honest mistake!

{Caption: Japan}

Japan: Please, do not fight. Let me mollify you with empty carbohydrates.

Italy: Carbohydrates? So yum!

Japan: Permission to speak.

(Italy: Nomnomnom…)

Italy [talking to the audience]: We have to raise our hands this way because Germany!

Japan: I promise it is relevant.

(Italy: Nomnomnom…)

Germany: All right, talk about your elephant.

(Italy: Nomnomnom…)

{Text on paper: List of mysterious clubs}

Japan: I have created a list of all weird groups at the Academy like “Club Siesta”.

(Siesta: Nap → Spanish)

Germany: What in the hell is that one about?!

Italy: Oh, I know!

{Caption: Proud}

Italy: They have parties with piñatas and churros and---AAGH!

Germany: Siesta, not fiesta!

(Siesta: Nap → Spanish)

(Fiesta: Party → Spanish)

Germany: Jawohl!

(Jawohl!: Yup! → German)

Germany: We will interview all of the activities, even the one with that little girl pony cartoon! Newspaper Club, go!

{Caption: Seychelles}

Seychelles: Ah, yelling and organizing. Classic Germany.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Caption #1: Madrigals}

{Caption #2: Ukraine}

Ukraine: What? You want to write about us? I suppose I don’t mind putting it all out there.

Italy: Oh, you know, like what you do at your meetings and why I hear timpani drums every time that you move.

Germany: Manners!

Ukraine: Estonia, would you talk to them for me?

{Caption: Estonia}

Estonia: Okay, I’d be happy to. Many of W Academy’s best students have gravitated to our little choir group. Latvia and Lithuania are both famous for their choruses, so we Baltic States are fitting right in around here.

{Caption #1: Latvia}

{Caption #2: Lithuania}

Lithuania: His compliments border on Lithumania!

Estonia: You know, it is not for the nothing that they call me the singing revolution back at the home.

Japan: It’s Mr. Sparkle!

Estonia: The one most important thing about the Madrigals…

Russia: Eah?

Estonia: …is that the Soviet bloc wants to lock us in the basement.

{Caption: Russia}

Russia: If you die, I get great pleasure smile.

Germany: Gott im Himmel!

(Gott im Himmel!: God in heaven! → German)

{Caption: USA}

America: Bro, enough of that! Start asking questions about my Daring Dudes already! We do cool crap 380 days a year! You can quote me on that! What the? AAGH! The Cold War’s over, dude, cut it out! Perestroika, perestroika!

(Italy: Eaheaheaheah!)

(Germany: Uhoh…)

America: Oh man, I thought that was the safe word!

(Japan: Oh my)

(Germany: Ahem!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mochi Japan: So that happened.

{Caption #1: Gastronauts}

{Caption #2: Turkey}

Turkey: It’s about time! I wondered when you’d get your act together and come over.

{Caption: China}

China: We are very exclusive group. It is just the three of us.

{Caption: France}

France: We are a triumvirate of refined palates, the intrepid epicureans of the Academy’s Gastronauts!

Italy: Aw, I wanted to be a Gastronaut, but you guys wouldn’t let me.

France: Because watching you drown everything in tomato sauce would be the death of me. We turned down Britain as well, so cheer up.

Turkey: Roasting pigs in my food!

France: Paying too much for cheese!

China: Putting rare animal on menu!

Turkey, China, France: Gastronaut powers, activate!

Germany: They’re certainly full of themselves, aren’t they?

Japan: Certainly full of something.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mochi Japan: Moving along.

{Caption #1: Hellfire Club}

{Caption #2: UK}

Britain: Welcome to the lair of the Hellfire Club. But what sort of coven would we be if we blabbed our secrets to every stringer who came a-knocking? So, if you truly are dead set on talking to me, just bend this spoon with the power of your mind and I guess I can allow it.

Japan: I cannot help but wonder which of the four Houses the Hat put you in.

Britain: What?!

Germany: You know, I have ways of making you talk.

Britain: What?!

Italy: Fork that spoon!

Japan: Your Teutonic prowess is the stuff of legend!

{Caption: Romania}

Romania: We’re having so much fun here. In fact, just last week, we ventured down into dungeon to fight band of orcs and Britain leveled up as wizard twice and…

Italy: Oh! So you’re nerds!

(Romania: …rolled a natural twenty to fight with experience)

Britain: Bollocks! Now they know the truth about the Hellfire Club! Really we just get together and tabletop!

Japan: The best of luck to you in your future wizarding.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Germany: All of the groups had something in common…there didn’t seem to be a single normal country in the bunch.

(Italy: Ooooohhh!)

Italy: That’s what makes them interesting, right?

Britain: Don’t you judge! You three are the freaks!

(Italy: La la! La la!)

Japan: It seems in some way we are all unusual.

(Italy: Fiesta! Arriba!)

(Fiesta!: Party! → Spanish)

(Arriba!: Up! → Spanish)

Italy [talking to the audience]: Worst cliffhanger ever!

[circlique]

While it did only happen in the Gakuen Hetalia episode which makes it an au thing not canon and it was only in the dub, it’s kinda worth noting that Alfred used the term Perestroika (restructuring) for their safe word. What makes it interesting is that Perestroika was a reformation that happened around the mid 1980’s, and was said to be the cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union. So yeah, I could see why Alfred would use this as a safe word because it both a reminder of the power that Ivan lost when the Soviet Union still existed and that it was more or less the reason why Alfred is the only remaining geopolitical superpower.

Yeah that is kind of interestingly symbolic when you keep in mind that the power should lie with the sub in any situation where a safe word might be needed.
