Movies done behind iron curtain, despite (and sometimes thanks to) everpresent censorship and oversight ended up with pretty deep existential messages that avoided usually not that brilliant censors.
Bear in mind that most artists abhored oppression even in toughest times, they are all free spirits after all, and I can imagine also in current russia there must be at least large pockets of similar folks.
Of course there were more shallow mainstream things more or less full of propaganda, and many actors overlapped between 2 categories. If one was clearly in critical camp then no work in industry, either some menial soul breaking job, prison or kicking out
