Gulag Magadan (2017)
Authentic Actors, born and raised in Russia.
Two of the lead actors, Andrey and the one who plays Larissa, both were born and grew up in Russia and have authentic Russian accents, these are real Russians speaking English in the film and I love it. I know the English spoken in the movie by these Russian actors is difficult to understand at times, but it is worth it for the authentic feel it gives the movie. It is low budget like some of the other Gulag movies, but well worth it if you want to see an independent film outside the mainstream.
Gulag Vorkuta (2016)
Actual Russian and Belarusian Lead Actors. Outstanding!!!!!!!
As a Russian I'm often disappointed to see Americans try to play the parts of Russians. The two lead actors are actually from Russia and Belarus, and their accents show this. This makes the film very authentic. My American friends have told me their accents are thick and hard to understand, since the dialogue in in English, but to me it is the best way to show a Russian subject, with Russian and Belarus actors. I thank the director for having the courage to make this cast. I very much recommend this film.
