Kino-Teatr (In comparison with another important Russian film resource "Entsiklopediia otechestvennogo kino. Rossiia/SSSR/SNG," this site is more focused on contemporary (though historical materials are included) films, much more comprehensive covering film and theater worldwide, and more news-oriented).
Entsiklopediia otechestvennogo kino. Rossiia/SSSR/SNG (Originally the online version of the 7-volume seminal Russian film encyclopedia Noveishaia istoriia otechestvennogo kino, 1986-2000. Now it is an independent online film encyclopedia of Russia and SNG)
Liudi (Chronologically comprehensive universal--both Russian and non-Russian--biography resource. It goes much beyond a single-article-per-person biography: it aggregates items of different types--photos, portraits, interviews, videos, etc--and from different sources on individuals. The resource is not particularly scholary, but may be a good start for any biographical search.)
