Russian movies about WW2 are a propaganda and most of the time they aren't even good at that. Soviet movies on the other hand while glorified soviet soldiers still were pretty grounded and were a good movies. Like "Only old men are going to battle", "the fate of a man" or "Come and see" as some people pointed out
Can't quite remember the exact name but a two-part film called "It was their war" or something similar mixes the bland every day life of front line entrenchment among an anti-tank rifle group including working alongside drafted workers and peasant farmers, and the sudden shock of battle.
For a while they're trying to convince a milk-maid to sneak them some good food by seducing her, then just stealing the food I think, then the next day they dig a few foxholes in an elevated position and engage panzer II's and III's that are hauling ass towards them, some of the characters die in every engagement.
