I wanna watch movies about the USSR, WW2, Cold War etc minus all the anti-communist bs Hollywood plasters their films with, any recommendations comrades? Maybe even some old Soviet productions?

    Seventeen Moments of Spring. It’s a Soviet multi-series movie about a Soviet secret agent working undercover as a Gestapo officer. It’s a classic for a reason.

    In a similar vein - Variant Omega, also about intelligence officers.

    Avoid Russian movies made recently, i.e. the one about Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. It’s bourgeoisie revisionism galore.

        Watch this. there should be english subs in the youtube. It’s based on the Seventeen Moments of Spring but much better, and genuninly one of the best spy series ever produced.

        Fun fact: it’s still very popular in Poland, but the last episode is censored out of the series because it shows Americans in unfavourable light.

        There also this one, worse but more based politically and more action oriented.
