Synopsis
Serving the Soviet Union! (2012) is a Russian wartime drama by Alexander Ustyugov, free to watch online on iFILM. The year is 1941. A celebrated newspaper columnist and a beloved stage actress look like the model Soviet couple — right up until the war tears their lives apart.
A single typo brands him an enemy of the people and lands him in a labour camp near Murmansk. She arrives at the same camp with a troupe of performers. Then a German landing party comes ashore on the White Sea coast, and the prisoners are handed a chance nobody saw coming. Maxim Averin and Nonna Grishaeva lead the cast. What stays with you isn't the heroics but the quieter question of who these two become under pressure. Stream Serving the Soviet Union! online on iFILM.
