You know of course I didn't think it was stupid... just a very difficult one, given how bad I am with lists.

But let me try. I will start with directors, and then perhaps select one film from each. In no particular order.

Bondarchuk - War and Peace. A must.

Tarkovsky - Andrey Rublev

Georgy Danelia - Ne Goriui, or Mimino, or Osennii Marafon

Alexandr Sokurov - Russian Ark

Alexandr Askoldov - Komissar

Sergei Paradjanov - Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors or The Color of Pomegranates

Nikita Mikhalkov - Burnt by the Sun

Piotr Mamonov - Taxi Blues

Iosif Khejfits - The Lady with the Dog

Vladimir Motyl - White Desert Sun

Alexei Batalov - Shinel

Tengiz Abuladze - Repentance

Vassili Pitchul - Little Vera

Alexandr Zarkhi - Anna Karenina

Alexandr Rogozhkin - The Cuckoo

Yuri Mamin - Okno v Parizh, or any other

All these are good, and most available here.

As I said, I was not trying to build the 10 Best Russian Films list.

It will certainly give you a good start... plus... I still urge you to do a search here, and I am sure I forgot some we already discussed before.
