(romanized: Shkola), or School, is a Russian TV series that asks the question: "What exactly is going on in the Russian school?" It aired on Russia's Channel One from January 11 to May 27, 2010, with a 2-week break during the Vancouver Olympics. It has 69 episodes and was directed by Valeriya Gai Germanika¹.
Premise: 9 "A" was an exemplary class, while their class teacher was Nosov Anatoly Germanovich - a strong and experienced teacher, recognized in 2009 as the Teacher of the Year. After his sudden illness, 9 "A" is left without a strong hand. The myth of the exemplary class is crumbling, discipline is cracking at the seams. Nosov's granddaughter, Anya Nosova, is perhaps the most difficult teenager of the school. A new student Ilya Epifanov provokes situations in which students manifest themselves from unexpected sides, turning upside down the usual idea of them as classmates and teachers. None of the teachers want to take on the class, which of the model has become the most difficult.
Valeriya Gai Germanika describes Shkola like this:
"Shkola — it is the series about the whole world, about children, parents, teachers, maturing, and loneliness. It is about the closed world that others can't access. It is about the impossibility to speak with other people."
Actress Elena Papanova describes Shkola as "a work about school as it is now — without the embellishments; with its pros and cons. There are no embellishments in this series."

Where can I watch Shkola?
right now you can watch it for free on youtube. if you search it up, you can find a lot of videos with the full show. there's a version in HD, but it's all in RUSSIAN, its original language.Where can I watch it with English subtitles?
you can watch episodes 1-14 with english subtitles on YOUTUBE. if you need episodes 15 and onward with english sub, you can just use youtube's auto-translate subs (even though they don't translate half of what the characters are saying), or go on TELEGRAM. they are currently translating episode 47, finished EPISODE 46. btw thank you so much to michel for translating most of the episodes. thank you. this means a lot to me. SOMETIMES. there are volunteers who help with the subs, but they are mentioned in the credits on the translated eng sub. support michel hereHey...what school was Shkola filmed at?

EPISODE 1: 2/7/2026
BRO I STARTED WATCHING THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF THIS SHOW this week, but i wasn't able to finish it. it's because i was watching kimi ni todoke s3, but i'm almost done with it. i read articles and things about shkola, and I LOVE SHKOLA. sooo...what i think so far: WHO LET ILYA HAVE A CIGARETTE?? BRO WHY DID HE GET PUNCHED BY THIS RANDOM EVIL KID JUST BECAUSE HE HAD A FRICKIGN BEANIE!??! WHAT IS WRONG TWITH THIS CHSOOL!?!? bro i cant even type normally anymore bro. i left off on 5:35 so i'm just gonna keep watchign until the end of this episode and i'll uhhhhhhh log my review. ok?

THERE IS SOMETHING CLEARLY WRON GWITH THE SHKOLA IN SHKOLA 2010. i'm not even gonna review. i'm just gonna lock in and WATCH THIS SHKOLA!!!!
EPISODE 42: 4/8/2026
This episode was...something. In the end, I felt bad for Nosova. Her grandparents got her the clothes she wanted after all. I read one of the comments on YouTube about this episode..."This is where the turning point in Nosova's life begins. It doesn't seem all that unusual; I even missed it the first time I watched it, but from the vantage point of the remaining episodes, it's clear that it was after Arseny Ivanovich and her best friends turned their backs on her and the ambiguous scene with her grandparents that something changed inside Anya. This is what will lead us to the finale." Honestly, I knew something was different about this episode, and I felt more bad for Nosova. Episode 42 really IS the turning point. I can't wait to watch Episode 43!! I could watch it now, but it's past midnight (12:12 AM). I think it's better if I go to sleep.... -_-
On second thought, I'm on SPRING BREAK!!! I'll watch the remaining episodes with English sub on Telegram
I genuinely feel bad for Nosova, even though she is rude to her grandparents. Her new best friends, the people she thought understood her the most, are backstabbing her; Misha's past behavior is overlooked and in the past now (what if he stalks Anya more?); she has a weird relationship with her chemistry teacher; and for 2 years she was forcibly homeschooled by her grandparents, only for her to have her reputation ruined and to not want to go to school. The final scene where she cries....maybe she cries because she realizes her grandparents love her idk. I wonder what will happen in the next episode.
