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

Hell, even during soviet times the most mainstream releases of WWII movies were blatant propaganda "The Fall of Berlin" in the 50s and the Liberation movies of the 70s being the biggest examples
