ex-USSR nationalities in film (revised list)

There was a film "Tsygan" and then followed up by "Vozvrashchenie Budulaja"
where Budulaj is a Gypsy.

In the film "Karnaval" there is a small part played by a Gypsy woman but a
very positive one (for a change), as opposed to the film "Orel i reshka"
where there is tiny but a very negative part for the Gypsies.
