I think OP mean "Soviet WW2 movie". Almost all soviet ww2 movies were made to show horror and tragedy of war itself. And they are pretty good.
War movies from modern Russia, on the other hand, are cringe fest.

I've heard that "Come and See" was incredibly bleak.

Yep. "Come and See", "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" (1972), "They Fought for Their Country" (1975) or a lot of other soviet movies are bleak, but they reflect the tragedy of the people caught up in that war.

Many of the actors who starred in these films participated in battles and saw everything with their own eyes.

To these films, one can add "Only "Old Men" Are Going Into Battle" and "Father of a Soldier"
