I'm becoming a bit of a cinephile, and I'd really like to experience the greatness of Soviet cinema but I don't know where to begin. Hit me with those recs!

Come and See seriously fucked my shit up but its
A fine example of the greater artistic freedom afforded to soviet filmmakers.
The only western film I've seen that even comes close to come and see in it's anti-war message is "Threads". But even then, it depicts the destitution as a cold, mathematical inevitability of a war, whereas come and see more hauntingly depicts the conditions being the result of a depraved, but deliberate force of man.
