Netflix had previously announced four Russian-language series that it's now halted in the country after the invasion of Ukraine.
Netflix’s announcement that it would temporarily stop doing business in the country was just one more indication of how seriously the rest of the world is taking Russia’s invasion of its much smaller neighbor. To wit: Russia is now more or less isolated from the outside world. One Western brand after another has pulled out. The country can’t tap into the global financial system. Its citizens can’t travel, use Instagram, Netflix, and the like.
Svetlana Khodchenkova was set to play Anna Karenina in the Netflix original series “ANNA K.” Image source: Netflix Continued Netflix: “Their affair quickly careens out of control, threatening the delicate balance of their familial bonds and social relationships. Set between cosmopolitan Moscow, historic St. Petersburg and Russia’s rugged countryside, the drama explores themes of passion, loyalty and the irrefutable truth that no amount of riches can save us from love’s ability to either free us or bring us to our doom.”Netflix described this one as a drama about a young actor named Lyokha.
Said director Ilya Malanin, “I am very pleased that it is this story that established my directorial debut. It is full of emotion, acceptance, and love. Each character is knitted with contradictions both in thoughts and actions. And there is nothing special about it.”Announced only a few months ago, in late 2021, this series focused on a celebrity at the center of tragic events that destroy his personality. Moreover, it’s about his struggle to become himself again.
