As title says. I’m looking for good (preferably fiction) movies of or from the Soviet Union I can relax to. Any recommendations?

Edit: Book recommendations welcome as well

    https://youtu.be/hRL4cXXX9Po

    The film is about a human from earth sent to a planet that earth has discovered has humans on it. The planet is in a dark age of tech with just swords being about the most complicated tech. The deal is that earth will implant you into there society as a god, however you need to not interfere with the running of society. The ‘don’ is restricted in he is not allowed to kill anyone, however he oversees the running of a feudal monarchy and thus oversees the frequent purging and executions of people who question his power.

    The film begun production in 2000, they would film for 13 years but the director died before he finished it.

    Its still one of the best films ive ever seen, its an adapation of the book written by the same people who wrote roadside picnic and its soviet in origins.
