Unfortunately the Soviet/Russian movie industry is little known outside the borders... not unknown, mind you, just nowhere near the level of other countries. Understandable, given its long time isolation, and unfortunate, given the tremndous talent that exists there.Even today you are much more likely to see the Sokurov's "gems" in the West than the works of many fine directors.
Which brings up the question - how does one find which films from a particular country have been released in the West? Is there one such resource somewhere?
What I have done was look at imdb for several Russian actor's names, and I found that some of their works do indeed exist in the Western releases... the prices are however quite high - like $45 for Anna Karenina with Tatyana Samoilova on DVD. But the search for any work of a marvelous actor Yevgeny Yevstigneev produced zero result.
