I saw Stalingrad when it was playing at the IMAX I worked at and that movie was a pile of loving garbage.

I'm sorely lacking on seeing any ACTUAL Soviet cinema, though.

track down the 1993 version of Stalingrad, it's really good.

Yeah Cancer from toxic substances, and others received nasty chemical burns. Some of the sites they filmed at were next to industrial plants that were literally pumping toxic by products directly into the water. A similar thing happened in America with the filming of the John Wayne starring biopic of Genghis Khan The Conqueror the site they chose to stand in for Mongolia was down wind of numerous Nuclear bomb tests, and they brought the soil back to the studio for soundstage filming.

I also really liked some of the cartoons they made, like the animated version of "There will come soft rains", with that weird robotic snake thing. And Firing Range, the closest the Soviet Union ever got to mecha anime, the villains are Apartheid South Africans, and they get absolutely wrecked.

Hedgehog in the Fog is cool
