How can I legally watch TV and movies in Russian?
Moving to another country is a huge ordeal and is accompanied by an incredible number of changes in the usual way of life. That is why everyone wants to retain something familiar, at least for a while.
This raises the question - how to watch movies and TV series in Russian here? And the most important thing is to do it legally.
If you have used torrents in the Russian Federation before, then we recommend you to forget about this habit once and for all. Yes, you can use a VPN. Yes, you can disable the ability to distribute. Yes, I know a lot of people will say - and I'm like that, I download and nothing happens for it. But regardless, piracy is a serious crime in the US. And if not criminal penalties or a hefty fine, you can easily get a "warning letter" from your ISP and get blacklisted.
Plus, it's much easier to make money here and legally pay for the services and goods you receive.
So what are the ways to watch movies and TV in Russian?
1. Netflix - many people don't know that Netflix has quite a bit of content with Russian voiceovers and Russian subtitles, as Russian was not available by default before. Now Russian can be enabled in your profile settings under "Audio & Subtitles Languages". Not all content has Russian voiceovers, but some movies and TV series are still available in Russian.
Subscriptions range from $6.99 to $19.99 per month depending on the tariff selected.
2. Kartina.TV is a fully legal app specifically for watching content in Russian abroad.
The price is $18 per month.
3. VPN + online movie theater Evie is the only online movie theater that currently works when using a VPN. You just need a VPN with a Russian server.
Subscription rates range from $1.99 to $9.99 per month. Discounts are available if you pay for 3, 6, or 12 months.
Please note! Subscriptions must be made through the App Store on iPhone (may also be available for Android devices). If you try to pay on the site with a card, an error may occur.
Here is the list of VPNs with Russian servers:
1. VeePN - has several Russian servers in different cities. The connection speed is good. Works stably for a long time without reconnections.
2. CyberGhost - the fastest VPN. It connects instantly and during my tests reached the speed of 170 Mbit/s over Wi-Fi with ping less than 200 ms.
3. Browsec - the simplest and most affordable VPN. You can use it if you don't care too much about traffic security and just need a Russian IP.
