Modern Russian melodramas belong to the category of films that cause the greatest interest among the domestic audience. And this is not surprising, since the creators of such tapes try to convey on the screen realistic, close to each of us in the spirit of history. What relatively recent, modern single-series Russian melodramas deserve the title of the best paintings in the presented genre? The answer to this question can be obtained by reading a selection of films from our publication.
Peter FM (2006)
I would like to start a review of the best modern Russian melodramas from the wonderful tape of the talented director Oksana Bychkova “Peter FM”. The events of the film take place in the Northern capital, where we have to observe the complex relationship between an ordinary guy and a real beauty. The plot is famously twisted when a girl who works on a local radio loses her phone, in which literally her whole life is concentrated. The guy finds the loss and returns to the hostess. However, not everything is so simple, because meeting young people will forever change their fate.
It is worth noting that “Peter FM” is far from another sentimental modern Russian melodrama. The picture is a worthy work of a creatively gifted young director. The film captivates with its strong message, as well as serious, meaningless dialogues that make the viewer think about the most important things.
“My Boyfriend is an Angel” (2011)
We continue our conversation about the best modern Russian melodramas. Without a doubt, a place in our selection deserves a rather unusual picture "My boyfriend is an angel." The events of the film take us to a huge metropolis, in which thousands of strangers instantly sweep past each other. It turns out that in a city where no one notices anyone, there is a place of love at first sight. This is what an angel named Seraph tries to prove to an ordinary loser - a girl named Alexander. However, he does not take into account the fact that a young student can fall in love with him. Is a relationship between man and a supernatural creature possible? This is what the viewer has to learn in the process of viewing this wonderful modern Russian melodrama about love.
“New Year's marriage” (2012)
As usual, the New Year is unthinkable without a Christmas tree, fireworks, masquerade, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. However, a holiday cannot do without a mother. It is her search for her own children that the protagonist of the film “New Year’s Marriage” is engaged in.
I must say that the tape has a fairly straightforward plot. However, great actors are represented here. In addition, the film is just overwhelmed with a lot of funny situations. All this makes the picture an excellent choice for viewing in the family circle, which will create a special mood before the New Year holidays.

What other contemporary Russian melodramas deserve the attention of a wide audience? One of the best films in the presented genre, according to the audience, is the true, life picture "Elena". The plot focuses on an elderly couple who have long forgotten what true, pure love is. Between spouses are neglected relations. Husband Vladimir treats his wife Elena, as if with a servant. The problem is the presence of a woman’s son from her first marriage - a young man who is absolutely unsuitable for life. In turn, a man cares only about the fate of his own daughter, who leads a carefree existence. Soon, a real drama is played out between the spouses. After all, Vladimir decides to leave his spouse without a livelihood, bequeathing all the property of his daughter.

Probably, each of us considers mother the most beloved and dear person. The main characters of the presented picture have the same opinion. On March 8, they decide to cross the whole country to personally congratulate their mother on the holiday. Naturally, the road does not do without incredible adventures and the most ridiculous situations. This interesting modern Russian melodrama about love for mom is ideal for family viewing, as it can awaken the brightest feelings in the soul.
