They are producing mostly total crap, but in HUGE volumes. Their population just can't get enough of cheap and idiotic crime serials, so that dominates the landscape.
There have been very, very few decent movies in the last decades. I would mention The Return, Leviathan, and the more recent work by the somewhat obscure director Andrey Smirnov "A Frenchman" - a wonderful 2019 film about life in 1950's USSR.
This thread's subject belongs to their disgusting "New wav" of war films - all horrible, but heavy in propaganda.
Their portrayal of WW@ has always been full of lie and misrepresentations, and this "New Wave" sets new low standard for that... without an exception they are totally disgusting.
