Natali and Aleksandr (Season 1)

Natali and Aleksandr (2025) is a Russian historical drama series you can watch online on iFILM — the story of Russia's most celebrated poet and the woman the 19th century could never quite stop arguing about. Ksenia Treister and Alexander Zaryadine lead; directed by Vladimir Shchegolkov.

Natalya Goncharova wanted a quiet life. She got Alexander Pushkin — his debts, his duels, his impossible celebrity, and a St. Petersburg social scene that treated her as both an ornament and a target. The series follows their marriage through the years when love and catastrophe were practically the same thing. Alongside the leads: Sergei Garmash, Polina Kutepova, and Kirill Kyaro.

What lifts this above a standard literary biopic is that Natali gets her own interiority here — she is not just a catalyst for the poet's tragedy. Stream Natali and Aleksandr (2025) online on iFILM.
