Stunt & Action Industry Directory
An independent, unranked guide to Russia's stunt and screen-action world — the Guild of Stuntmen inside the Union of Cinematographers, the каскадёр studios and teams that stage falls, fire, fights and vehicle work for Russian film and television, and the Moscow schools that train performers from scratch. Built on a deep Soviet and post-Soviet trick-cinema tradition. Note: since 2022, sanctions and payment/access restrictions can make some of these sites harder to reach from abroad, and most operate in Russian only.

Guild of Stuntmen — Union of Cinematographers
Гильдия каскадёров Союза кинематографистов России
Stuntmen's Guild · Moscow
Russia has no standalone stuntmen's union — performers are organised as the Guild of Stuntmen, a professional guild within the Union of Cinematographers, led by veteran coordinator Aleksandr Inshakov. It pursues legal recognition of the profession, standard contracts and professional certification, and founded the national Stuntman's Day (28 April). The most relevant industry body for Russian stunt workers; its section sits on the union portal.
