Cramer provided viewers with an update of the "From Russia With Love" portfolio of his five favorite Russian stocks. Cramer recommended the portfolio on April 7, and since then the stocks are up an average of 13.7%, while the S&P 500 is up less than 1%. But Cramer said even with the portfolio's stellar performance, changes still need to be made.

-
MTL
Mechel Oao Ads - $20.58
- 0.00%
- $N/A
Cramer's Russian portfolio included Mechel (MTL), Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods (WBD), Central European Distribution (CEDC), Central European Media (CETV) and CTC Media (CTCM).

WBD
Wimm Bill Dann Ad - $19.70
- 0.00%
- $N/A
He also blew it thinking that Russia’s commodity wealth would trickle all the way through to media. It did boost food and beverages through the consumer, helping Wimm-Bill-Dann and Central European Distribution. And it trickled down to infrastructure, thus the strength of Mechel, the steel maker.

CEDC
Central European - $30.56
- +0.36%
- $30.26
Cramer's Russian portfolio included Mechel (MTL), Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods (WBD), Central European Distribution (CEDC), Central European Media (CETV) and CTC Media (CTCM).

-
CETV
Central European - $27.70
- 0.00%
- $N/A
In the interest of diversification, Cramer said both CTC and Central European Media shouldn't have been in the portfolio together to begin with. He said Central European Media is the way to play going forward.

-
CTCM
Ctc Media - $15.64
- 0.00%
- $N/A
According to Cramer, its time to cut and run with CTC Media. While he still likes the strong media story in Russia and surrounding countries, he said CTC has proven to be just too small to take advantage of the growth.
