Last night I sat in France, drank wine and watched this older Russian film. Good! I liked it, and we found a version with good English subtitles. It's interesting to see the vast winter landscapes which I've driven across so many times on film. Some humorous moments in the movie, but overall it's sad and depressing. The interaction between the main criminals and the Russian cops was especially amusing. What are some similar films about criminals or prison life in post-Soviet Russia? Please recommend, and I will look for versions with decent subtitles so I can understand the story. Otherwise, I'm completely lost when natives are speaking. Thanks! :)

On Muscovy, there are no cops. What goes for cops is popularly called and known as the trash, which comes from momzerim, excuse my Hebrew.
Fenya, the basic language of the Russian humans is deduced from the Yiddish - the society of the strict criminals (they call themselves humans) was born in Odessa where more than 50% of population used to be Jewish.
