Synopsis
Syn ottsa narodov (The Leader's Son, 2013) is a Russian historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. It's a biopic of Vasily Stalin — a fighter pilot, a lieutenant general at twenty-six, and a son who spent his whole life in the shadow of a surname.
Young Vasily is charming and reckless, used to having the world at his feet: sport, aviation, friends, women. While his father is alive, almost everything is forgiven him. Then the leader dies, and the life he knew comes apart overnight — now the famous name comes with a bill to settle. The series follows the arc from the high life to the fall, hiding neither his talent nor his wreckage.
Gela Meskhi plays the lead, with Sergei Gazarov and Nadezhda Mikhalkova alongside him; Sergei Ginzburg and Sergei Shcherbin directed. A drama about how heavy an inheritance gets when your last name is an entire era. Stream The Leader's Son (2013) online on iFILM.
