ex-USSR nationalities in film (revised list)

[elenka]

There is also Dmitrii Svetozarov's television series "Po imeni Baron" (2002)
with a number of episodes focusing on Jewish characters, Ukrainians, and Roma.
The protagonist of this criminal drama grows up in a Jewish family in Ukraine
and then spends many years living among Gypsies.
