Synopsis
Obgonyaya vremya (Outrunning Time, 2019) is a Russian biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. It follows Rostislav Alekseev, the engineer whose hydrofoil ships and ground-effect ekranoplans had no rival anywhere in the world.
The script was pieced together from declassified files and chapters of his life that had stayed hidden for decades. So the show skips the polished genius portrait and digs into something messier: a designer pushing radical machines forward while bureaucratic bans, state secrecy and other people's schemes keep dragging him back. Leonid Plyaskin directs a large ensemble led by Olga Miroshnikova, Artyom Bystrov, Ivan Parshin and Sergey Yatsenyuk.
If you're drawn to the hidden side of Soviet engineering — and the price its inventors paid for being ahead of their time — this one rewards the attention. Stream Obgonyaya vremya online on iFILM.
