The Wings of Empire (Season 1)

The Wings of Empire (2017) — watch online on iFILM — is a Russian historical drama series directed by Igor Kopylov, tracing eight years of convulsion from 1913 to 1921: the eve of World War I through the end of the Civil War.

The story follows three distinct characters — played by Ksenia Lukyanchikova, Milos Bikovic, and Grigory Nekrasov — whose lives track the same catastrophic events from entirely different vantage points. Revolution doesn't arrive here as headline history; it arrives as loss, as unexpected doors opening, as the sudden irrelevance of everything a person built before. For some, these years are ruins. For others, the rubble is a foundation. The series' real subject is private life under historical pressure. Stream The Wings of Empire online on iFILM.
