How I Became a Russian (Season 1)

How I Became a Russian (2015) — watch online on iFILM, a Russian comedy-drama series about American journalist Alex Wilson, who writes a biting column on the unattainable American dream and earns himself an open-ended posting in Moscow.

Alex works for the American Post and now has to file dispatches from a country he thought he already understood. He starts a personal blog — every day, the same question: what does it mean to be Russian? Svetlana Ivanova, Sergei Chirkov, and Vitaly Khaev fill the world around him with neighbors, colleagues, and strangers who have no idea why he finds anything unusual. The fish-out-of-water premise slowly gives way to something quieter: a man who came to observe finding he can't stay an outsider. Stream How I Became a Russian (2015) online on iFILM.
