Mikhail Kalatozov is a great director. I enjoy The Cranes are Flying and Yo Soy Cuba.

The Cranes are Flying (much catchier in Russian, Letiat Zhuravli) is a legit amazing movie and the fact that it was made in 1957 makes it even more impressive.

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.

Oh man Iozhik v Tumane (the Hedghehog in the Fog) is an amazing short that apparently took like ten years to make because of the laborious but really cool animation style. The director, Iurii Norshtein, has apparently been working on an animated version of The Overcoat for like three decades. If it ever comes out it will probably be incredible.
