Children of Change (Seasons 1–2)

Children of Change (2024) is a Russian crime drama set in 1995 that you can watch online on iFILM. Director Sergei Taramaev follows three half-brothers — Yura, Ruslan and Pyotr — raised by the same mother in a country that barely resembles itself from one year to the next.

Their mother Flora, played by Viktoriya Isakova, drives a trolleybus and tries to hold her very different sons together. The neighbourhood is changing fast: factories shutting, underground fight rings opening, and fast money moving in ugly ways. Each brother gravitates toward his own crowd and his own secrets. Timofey Tribuntsev, Alexander Yatsenko and Artyom Bystrov appear in supporting roles that arrive at the worst possible moments.

The show is more honest than most 90s Russian nostalgia dramas — less romanticism about the era, more weight on what families actually paid to get through it. Stream Children of Change online on iFILM.
