Do a search for "таинственный остров 1941", which yields a bunch of
results, including online versions of the film:

and a torrent for a DVD rip:

It's amazing how faithful and watchable some of these really old films
are. The 1936 Deti kapitana Granta is another great example. It's a
shame that these are so difficult to get hold of over here in Western
Europe. I had some success browsing posylka.de in the past, but when I
revisited that site just now, I didn't see any Verne films.

Cheers,
Garmt.
