The rocky shores of the Barents Sea, summer 1941. Black Peacoats (Chernye Bushlaty, 2018) is a Russian war series about naval scouts, available to watch online on iFILM.

Sensing the coming war, Northern Fleet commander Admiral Golovin assembles a sabotage-and-reconnaissance unit for raids deep behind German lines. In the war's first days, Sergeant Leontyev is ordered to direct destroyer fire onto a German shore battery hidden among unscalable cliffs. Among the squad is sniper Maria Belaya, who has her own scores to settle with the enemy. Director Vitaly Vorobyov keeps the focus on the real cost of those early missions, with no gloss and no bombast. Stream all episodes online on iFILM.
