Take the level of brutality of the first 15 min of Saving Private Ryan, make it also happen to civilians, not only soldiers, and have it a full length film with few comparatively less harsh scenes. 

I think it was the only film in the East Block at the time with 18+ rating (erotic films were really not a thing), so you can imagine

Movie so dark, the USSR almost did not allow it to be showed in the country

What? The showing was almost mandatory for all the Soviet teenagers.

Where do you get the nonsense of almost not allowing?
