To add to this; all of the Soviet films are available on YouTube with good subtitles from an official channel. A really great one is "Ivan vassilievich changes occupation".

Thanks! I really like _Courier_, which last I checked is still on YT with good subtitles. (Also...ahem...I have a weakness for _Moscow to Cassiopeia_ :-))

That link goes to Mosfilm movies. There where a dozen or so other studios, and some of them have their archives up as well.

For example,

- Lenfilm: https://www.youtube.com/user/LenfilmVideo

- Odessa Film Studio: https://www.youtube.com/user/OdessAnimationStudio

Oh, all the classic comedies like 'Kidnapping, Caucasian style' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2_sjEURwgo) and 'Diamond arm' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-iVfLX2tvY) are available there, that's nice.

Especially iconic is the “The Irony of Fate”[1], which is still traditionally watched on New Years each year.

On youtube it's only available with Russian and Bulgarian subtitles, alas...

Do you have a link, please? I can only find this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYHv8eJrW2Y

Which has only Bulgarian subtitles.
