Synopsis
Родина (2015) is a Russian spy thriller series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Vladimir Mashkov and Viktoriya Isakova. The story starts in 1993: a marine infantry lieutenant colonel named Bragin and his sniper partner vanish during a federal military operation in the North Caucasus.
Six years later, an FSB-GRU raid takes out a militant base in the same region. Inside a captured bunker: Bragin, alive, wrists in chains. His reappearance becomes national news within hours. But FSB counterterrorism officer Anna — played by Isakova — starts working a theory nobody is saying out loud: six years in captivity is enough time to break and turn someone. Mashkov plays Bragin as a man taken apart by years of isolation and violence, yet completely unreadable.
The series is based on the Israeli original Prisoners of War — the same source material as the American Homeland. Sergei Makovetsky, Maria Mironova, and Andrei Merzlikin are strong in supporting roles. The intelligence plot runs on psychology, not action sequences, and the question at the center — is Bragin a hero or a threat? — stays genuinely open. Watch Родина (2015) online on iFILM.
