The operator covers 10 countries, every one of them a former Soviet republic. Its help pages say the company is still working on widening that map. Amediateka is not available in the US, and Amediateka makes no secret of it: load the site from an American IP address and you land on a notice saying the service cannot be shown here. Not one of the markets on that help page sits in North America or Western Europe.
The catalog leans on imported premium drama, and the operator itself points to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, The White Lotus, Euphoria, Billions and The Gilded Age. The interface, the dubbing and the subtitles are Russian, though some series offer the original soundtrack with Russian subtitles. Billing runs in rubles, video tops out at 1080p, and Amediateka allows two streams at once across five registered devices. A download is the workaround the company documents, though CyberGhost opened the catalog in our September test.
Amediateka actively blocks VPNs. Only certain providers reliably bypass the detection.

Amediateka is a Russian subscription service, launched on 15 June 2013 and run by A Serial LLC. The catalogue is built on imported premium drama: Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Euphoria, Billions. The subscription also opens a TV section: Amedia Premium, Amedia Hit, A1 and A2. Titles play dubbed into Russian or in the original with Russian subtitles, and the interface is Russian. Picture quality stops at Full HD, with no 4K, a gap against the Western majors. One account covers five devices, but only two streams at once. It works in exactly ten countries: Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Belarus. Elsewhere you can only preload episodes in the app and watch them within 30 days. Smart TV downloads do not work.
