There are already good advices here - but I would like to suggest something that seems obvious, but might still be overlooked: consider several most likely questions your professor will ask, and prepare answers for them.

A number of good ones is already mentioned, but one is oddly missing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_from_Prostokvashino There are 3 soviet movies, and one post-Soviet. Ignore the latter. Obligatory animal characters included.

Thank you for sharing this; have not actually finished reading just yet. Some “political” connecctions author makes do seem… Very particular. Search for “Marx”, “Lenin”, “Communism” in the document if you would like.

Actually after having done that myself, perhaps it does, in part, belong to TL;DR. Thankfully the author did account for that.
