    I will take part in the discussion.
    To understand Russia, namely the "Russian soul", in my opinion, easier than it seems, is enough to look beyond Moscow and other large cities that are close to Europe.
    See what life in the province
    In metropolitan cities, "time flies". Outside people live a more measured life, even if "equal to the West", but to a much lesser extent.
    "Калина красная","Облако-рай","Афоня", "Слезы капали"- these movies, I recommend a look.
    And never mind that the film was 20-40 years ago. Character and destiny are not much different from today.

    My favourite Russian movie is "With Love, Lilya" Amazon.com: With Love, Lilya / S Lubovyu, Lilya: Movies & TV
    It can tell you how ordinary people in Russian province live, think, feel, and act, really.

    "9th Company" recommended above is a piece of crap pathetically mocking American Vietnam War movies.
