Soviet cinema gave the world Tarkovsky, Bondarchuk, Kalatozov: directors who proved that a film could be as profound as a novel and as beautiful as a painting. It also gave us Gaidai's unstoppable comedies, the fairy tales every child grew up loving, and the war films that no Western production has ever equalled for raw emotional honesty. This DVD and Blu-ray catalogue spans every genre, every studio, every republic of the former Soviet Union, and every era from the silent age to the present day.
