Description
IVI (ivi.ru) is a movies and TV show streaming site. Ivi.ru lets you stream movies and TV shows directly from the site without having to download any files. It’s one of the more reliable streaming sites I’ve seen with quick-loading shows ready to go.
Alternatives
Similar sites to ivi.ru include kinopoisk.ru, premier.one, start.ru, smotrim.ru, film.ru, okko.tv, kion.ru, kino-teatr.ru, rutube.ru, and 1tv.ru.
Site Navigation/Overview
When I analyzed ivi.ru, the homepage was in Russian, but the design and movie thumbnails looked very professional. When I checked to see if the movies were in English in Russian, they were in Russian. One of the buttons I saw at the top of the single post page was to watch free for 60 days, so it looked like it was not a free streaming site for watching movies. 3/1/2025
