The Comrades of the Ring : USSR TV version of Lord of the Rings resurfaces after three decades

‘The Comrades of the Ring’: USSR TV version of ‘Lord of the Rings’ resurfaces after three decades Updated 11:41 AM; Today 11:41 AM A USSR made-for-TV version of The Fellowship of the Ring has resurfaced after nearly three decades. (New Line Cinema | WingNut Films) Facebook Share There’s Gandalf the Grey, but there is also, evidently, Gandalf the Red. A made-for-TV version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” from the Soviet Union has resurfaced after three decades of gathering dust on the shelf. The Guardian reports how the Russian-language movie was recently published on YouTube after being unearthed last week. Titled “Khraniteli,” the movie aired in 1991 and is based on Tolkien’s first book in the trilogy, “The Fellowship of the Ring.”

Now on YouTube: The Lord of the Rings as you ve never seen it Unless you were in Russia in 1991 | Arts & Entertainment

A few, hypnotically bad minutes of “Khraniteli,” the recently rediscovered 1991 Soviet TV adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Fellowship of the Ring,” should be enough to get your week off to a start from which you may never recover. I don’t want to overstate its disorienting effect. But understating it would be a dereliction of duty. Last week, without fanfare, the state-run Russian TV station 5TV posted the rarity on YouTube. The 105-minute Russian-language adaptation reportedly aired once before slipping, Gollum-like, into the vaults of what was then known as Leningrad Television. An April 5 story in the Guardian stoked interest among Tolkien’s adoring English- (and, of course, Elvish-) speaking millions.
