I’ve been enjoying Russian film for several years now, with and without subs. I only wish I had discovered Russian language and art sooner (a younger age) and thus would probably be farther along in my skills. Many of the subtitles are excellent, but I always wonder what I am missing in the translation. Having said all that, I am deeply grateful for the generosity of Mosfilm, Lenfilm, as well as Irina’s diligent efforts, in bringing this wealth to the web. Thank God for those arts (and artists) that can bring people of all cultures closer.

I’ve watched many of the Mosfilm prooductions with English subtitles.
The Eisenstein movies I saw many years ago at New York revival theaters
like the Bleecker Street, the Garrick, the Thalia, the New Yorker, and
the Vagabond in Los Angeles. I recommend THE FORTY FIRST (thanks to
Pauline Kael’s KISS KISS BANG BANG) and of course THE CRANES ARE FLYING.
Also I WALK AROUND MOSCOW; the young people are not that much different
from their counterparts in London, Paris, Rome, and New York.

I am so excited to see the Mosfilm site. And the Lenfilm site! Never could have imagined having this wealth at my fingertips. Thank you Mosfilm, Lenfilm, and to Irene for helpful guidance

Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1MmSjMofOY&feature=watch-now-button&wide=1. Remember to hit the “CC” button for subtitles. (Dersu Uzala, by the way, is a Japanese/Soviet co-production directed by Akira Kurosawa. Kurosawa visited Andrei Tarkovsky on the set of Solyaris when he first came to Russia to discuss making the film).

After discovering the "closed captioning" button and realizing that many more of these movies are translated than I first believed, I added three more titles. Two are the Sergei Eisenstein classics Battleship Potemkin (link to watch) and Alexander Nevsky (link to watch) and the third is the popular comedy Ivan Vasielevich Changes Occupations (link to watch). There may be more in the future.

Irene, I honestly don't think the tags are that important for navigation. This post is in the category Free Online Weird Movies, which is fairly popular internal destination. The article is also doing very well in Google, behind only Mosfilm's official channel in a search for "Mosfilm English youtube."

Those who do not visit the 366weird regularly, or those visiting it for the first time will never find the list and learn about it if there is no a special tag or category for the movies. Tarkovsky, Russian and Soviet is not enough. IMO

I just updated the list with three more movies: the comedy Mimino and the fairy tales The Tale of Tsar Saltan and Sadko. There will probably be more updates to come.
