Here's my list from best to worst :

NRX
Faplex
VK
Mr Anderson
Vira Gold
RPSN
Galla

Hope I didn't forget any.

I think "your favourite" means what you personally enjoy.

That's not the same as assessing "quality".

I enjoy chocolate ice cream and I don't like strawberry. Doesn't mean strawberry is lower quality.

It's no problem to rank what you personally enjoy from "most" to "least".

If you're going to try to assess "quality" from "best" to "worst" then you should probably give your reasons.

At this point the whole exercise will probably fail since most posters here conflate their personal desires and preferences with logical assessment and simply announce what they personally want and don't want to see as though it were some kind of universal truth to be acknowledged by everyone. Which it isn't.

Well RPSN quality is the best.
But I need more DAP, thus I also vote for NRX, even though I have some reservations.
VK / Anderson are of mixed quality but sure high professionally.
My 4th vote, no idea.

This is about personal choices :
So it takes everything into account : quality, as well as models choice, sex acts and so on.
And it's all statistics, not objective reviews.

Why did you put VK and Mr Anderson as the same studio? Mr Anderson seems to work exclusively with Vira Gold and his own studio nowadays and has no relation to VK even as a performer.

My bad, you're right.
I fixed it.

NRX: Great models but some seem to be dumped in favour of new ones just when they’re reaching a peak. Still a bit arty for me and camerawork and lighting could be improved on occasions.
Mr Anderson: Effective as always.
VK: Excellent models, quite inventive and the increasing use of gangbangs is a step in the right direction.
Faplex: interesting models and decent direction but more output required.
Vira Gold: A bit samey, with no real development of some lovely models and rarely more than two studs involved.
RPSN: Good camerawork but no vote due to the mask on the black guy every time.
Galla: The pronounced emphasis on oral work is tiresome, not enough fucking and too much close cropping when it’s actually shown.

This is my main issue with NRX as well. I like plenty of the scenes, and the models are great, but it appears as if Nick signs these girls on an exclusivity deal, and then after that they're basically cast aside. And since these girls are all new to the business, they have no or limited ideas/opportunities to go further. And thus they mostly disappear after 5-10 scenes.

I know some of them left for other afencies (Jessi Way, Mia Piper), but for some we just don't have news.
Maybe some aren't from Moscow or Piter so they go back in their hometowns for studies or else, but they can come back.
I already miss Vivian, Bella and Ekaterina...

VK the top now....if will arrive more new cute models will be for sure the top of all legalporno ecosystem..

No one

I wrote somewhere else that in Russia today all studios have girls exclusively like agencies. This is of course bad for the girls. There is many problems with the way Russian porn industry has delevopped with no outside customers and thus much less competition.
For most girls its pure coincidence with whom they start their porn career. A real agency would give that girl work for different studios, but a studio-agency caters only for the own studio and does anything to prevent the girl to work outside.
This business practice is not limited to NRX. They are able to give a girl 10 scenes, which is better than other studios. Fans always asking for new girls only also contribute to this strange development of biz in Russia. It means the enormous talent pool is just using girls hopes not providing sustainability.

They should bring the numbers to at least 20 scenes per hot model and everyone would be happy.

When they retire at 9 or 10 scenes it feels that another 10 scenes would had made the departure less disappointing.

I understand when the girl is just average if they do 5 scenes, but sometimes even with the super hot girls they are stopping to shoot too soon.

The studios would also benefit by talking to each other. For example I don't mind if we get our 20 scenes between different studios.

A model can easily do 4 videos here, 6 videos there, 8 videos on another, 2 videos somewhere else, and we can start getting better numbers for her which would make more costumers happy.

All in all, I know these Russian studios quite poorly. But as far as I’ve seen the videos, I pretty much disagree with the NRX studio which is pretty much praised here. Actually, I’ve only liked their gorgeous and young girls. Instead, male actors are really,really bad. They ruin almost every video with their lousy work. In addition, camera work is often careless, camera angles are wrong, and the camera shoots too far away. Then the cum in mouth climax cannot be done properly. It is only filmed briefly and then the camera moves away from the girl when it should, on the contrary, shoot the sperm in close-up. And often even studio lights seem to be completely wrong. Very unskilled.

As for Mr. Anderson, I've always hated that man! A disgusting jerk who almost always treats girls brutally. I don’t understand why girls tolerate him!?

Worth giving some perspective to the releases by the Piter studios so far this month, with wet and dry scenes counted as one each time (September’s final figures in brackets): Valter Karo 12 (10), Galla 11 (7), NRX 9 (10), Faplex 4 (4), Vira Gold Films 3 (6), Kate Rich 2 (1), Mr Anderson’s AA 2 (5), RPSN 2 (5).

The increase in Galla’s total is not good in my book. Vira Gold Films continues to underproduce although he also films for Mr Anderson and apparently had a holiday at some point. RPSN and Faplex are pretty thin numerically.

Now for content. The October scenes have involved 8 gangbangs (seven by NRX) and 9 DPs. 17 out of 44 with more than one stud is pretty dismal surely - by comparison, the GG studio has had only two 1x1 scenes. There is another 1x1 from NRX coming tonight it seems (incredibly cute gal). Halloween presumably will offer more gangbang opportunities but one has to ask, where exactly are these studios going?

For those who see DAP scenes as the litmus test of top porn, there have been just nine since the start of September from the Piter studios. By comparison, there have been more than 30 from Giorgio Grandi since the start of October.

Vira Gold Films remain a mystery, with top models but no releases since 20 October although there have been a couple from Mr Anderson's Anal Academy directed by VG. The fact that there's never anything in the way of comment on the forum by the director doesn't help.

However, I dont expect this to happen anytime soon. All those Russian studios - except Vira and Mr. A. - seem to be extremely jaleous of each other. Most of them scout the girls themselves and keep them exclusively. They seem to prefer JM to take them over finally and export to EU instead of keeping them busy in Russia. No idea why, but its just lack of good business governance.

NRX finally on good way, even with cocks still much smaller than they should be. Still just pissed off because Monika Fox still never got TP, TAP and shooted few 5 and 7on1. Berlin got TPed straight away in her 1st 7on1. Now waiting on Maryana Rose TP and of course Monika. Then Kitty Li.

10 years ago we had Sineplex, Giorgio Grandi and Evil Angel with Rocco Siffredi and Omar making some absolutely legendary porn in Russia.
The situation today leaves a lot to be desired.

NRX have top quality girls and professional production. But only average quality male performers with average sized dicks.
They even manage to find a black guy with a average dick. How is that even possible?

I have some hope for RPSN. They right now have the best BBC but they are not very active and have not had many girls to be excited about. Im not surprised they did not get many votes in the poll.
The scenes with Baby Bamby showed big promise though. If we would only see more good looking girls from the other Russian studios work for them as well things could be really great.

For what it's worth, last week Loren Strawberry was posting on [spam] about a poll for fans to choose their favourite studio from a list of three. Supposedly the 346 votes gave NRX Studio 52.6%, Gonzo 25.4% and Giorgio Grandi 22%. Hard to comprehend.

Perhaps more interesting was Nick Rock's comment: "NRX has all the beautiful models. Unfortunately, European companies will not be able to boast of this and I think the next 5 years will not be able to shoot beautiful Russian girls." It would be fascinating to know the basis of that theory.

Probably they just want to promote Nick's studio.
