Christian Movies From Russia - With English Subtitles
Russian Faith ^ | 3/5/19 | Matthew Adams

Posted on 03/20/2019 6:44:15 PM PDT by marshmallow

Creating quality television programs instilled with traditional Christian morality, Russian filmmakers are building cultural capital, positively influencing the next generation. These films are available with English subtitles.

Here is a helpful list of several great videos, all in one place. Some of these are favorites which you may have seen before. All of these films are provided with English subtitles:

The Island (Ostrov) — Memorable story of a man who spends his lifetime repenting of sins, is misunderstood by his fellow monks, and is sought out by Christian pilgrims who seek his guidance.

Seraphima's Extraordinary Adventures — Lovely animated Christian film for children

First Episode of "Raskol" — Christian TV series about the most violent schism in Russian Church history

With a leader that kills dissidents and members of the press that he doesn’t like with radiation poisoning, among other ways :)

It’s great that these movies are being made and that Putin knows that Christianity is needed for a country to flourish.

But let’s not have illusions about what Putin still is and what Russia is still like.

Have you been there? I have, and its not what you think or what I thought it would be like.

No political correctness etc. There is not the animosity there, like we are seeing here. Its like stepping back in time a bit to the way it used to be.

Lovely people.

That is great but it’s got nothing to do with what Putin is and what Russia is.

It’s not a democracy.

No, its not a democracy, but neither are we.

We are a Republic that is in the midst of a major coup..... by a fully corrupt DOJ.

When I went to Russia I witnessed the WW2 celebration in Moscow in May. I was handed some gospel tracts as I was walking down the street. It was not restrictive there like I thought it would be.

I remember when America was a Christian nation, and Russia was atheist.

Now it’s switched.

The left turned against Putin when he stopped gays from adopting Russian kids and when he dissed homo activity.

Cracks me up a bit.

Appears that Russia is NOT putting up with any Leftist Crap
American Christians are slowly being taken over by Islam. Got an idea. “if things continue to get worse in America how about moving to Russia?”

I lived there for a while and we still own an apartment in Cheboksary. I agree with you 100%.
I have fallen in love with the country, the culture, the resistance to the politically correct crap we're dealing with here, and the people. In fact, I married a Russian gal. She is the most loving person I have ever met in my life!!

Great idea. I buy religious DVDs at the local Catholic Center store, but the production values are often disappointing...

Even when the film is good the English dubbing is surprisingly poor.

I’ve seen great movies in Italian about Francis and Clare, Padre Pio—excellent acting, wonderful dialogue. But watch them in English and they sound like low-budget productions.
