Komissar is good, and Grossmann's story has more than one true story behind it. My grandmother was adopted in 1920 by a Jewish family in about the same places - except that the parents were fleeing for Crimea away from the Reds (survived and returned a few years later) and the foster family's sons died - one in the Reds, one in the Jew militia. Weird times. It is strange that those shtetls survived when waves of Reds, Whites, etc. chased each other over the steppe.

Zero is, well, zero... But must be more available than the rest, given the director's current rank.

For true surreal 1984 art - see Parad Planet. This one you won't find easily. (http://www.podsolnuh.ru/movies/Parad_planet/).
