Fred Muratori, our bibliographer for film studies, among other subjects, mentioned this resource. Here's the the description from the website:
"On Russian Film Hub, you can legally watch hundreds of Russian and Soviet movies with English subtitles for free. You can filter by genre, decade, director, and more....Our film catalog ranges from historically important early films by Dziga Vertov and Sergei Eisenstein to comedy gems by the Soviet blockbuster wizards, Leonid Gaidai and Eldar Ryazanov. We have a deep collection of Russian war movies and a good number of contemporary Russian films (just sort by decade).There are also a number of great Russian TV series on Russian Film Hub. You’ll find both Soviet and contemporary Russian classics."
