This looks promising: Russiandvd.com
I found it when looking for Mark Zakharov movies. Netflix doesn’t have any, nor are there any on Ebay. But there are some here.
Russiandvd.com not only sells DVDs but has a rental program, too. I’m starting to run out of Russian movies on Netflix. When I exhaust those, maybe I’ll subscribe here.
There is a problem, though. A lot of them do not have subtitles, which means I’ll have to learn a lot more Russian before I can watch them properly. And even when I do, I can’t expect Myra to be enthusiastic. She likes to watch Russian movies with me, but has no interest in learning the language.
Just the same, it’s something to keep in mind.

In Internet there are sites/resourses where you can download English subtitles to Russian movies.
For example:
http://subs.com.ru/

It’s my some verbose text about what Russian TV series I’d indicate as very THE BAD… Oddly?
Just it’s the response on the question of my English friend-blogger. He have seen some series and wish to compare these talanted works with most low level.
However, my text is not merely about THE BAD series, but also about the difference between old Soviet series and new Russian ones.
So, this is some excurse
