I have not seen this film on your lists, so I recommend:
They fought for their homeland (Они сражались за Родину, 1975) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfUlR_nuBb4

I couldn't agree more. For me, -most- of the current films being mentioned here are comparable to wartime propaganda movies, as are many of their American counterparts nowadays. For the most part good guy/bad guy hero vs. villain nonsense. Entertaining yes, but very far removed from an accurate depiction of the complex events they focus on. As the war has faded from living memory, our ability to depict it in film has declined. And the way these modern Russian films seem to be encouraging nostalgia for the Soviet era -and whitewashing its crimes- is a whole other subject
HI everyone,
I don't remember seeing it mentioned but a newer film 'Podolsk Cadets' is worth seeing if you can. The director prided himself on only using vehicles correct for 1941 in it.
Also Mosfilm on youtube has a lot of its war films subtitled also a company called Star Media makes lower budget but at times entertaining series. They might be good to see.
