As title says. I'm looking for good (preferably fiction) movies of or from the Soviet Union I can relax to. Any recommendations?

Edit: Book recommendations welcome as well

Haas, these are all good recommendations, but building off of what Olgas said, just watch anything made by Tarkovsky. Each is a guaranteed 9/10 or 10/10 movie experience. Plots are deep and philosophical, but not boring or drawn out, characters are fleshed out and insanely well written, and the shots are beyond artistic.
