The 5 highest-grossing Russian movies about WWII

They attracted millions of viewers to movie theaters in Russia and abroad and made millions at the box office:

‘T-34’ (2018). Worldwide gross: $25 million
‘Stalingrad’ (2013). Worldwide gross: $18 million
‘The Righteous’ (2023). Worldwide gross: $7 million
‘Air’ (2023). Worldwide gross: $5.5 million
‘Battle for Sevastopol’ (2015). Worldwide gross: $4.7 million
At the same time, not all of these movies impress military history experts and fans. Thus, the highest-grossing ‘T-34’ and ‘Stalingrad’ have been criticized for “cartoonishness”, excessive "slow-motion" and historical inaccuracies.
