I’m becoming a bit of a cinephile, and I’d really like to experience the greatness of Soviet cinema but I don’t know where to begin. Hit me with those recs!

Solaris, stalker
Eisenstein’s works are all worth seeing. Tarkovsky as well I’d say though I think Stalker is a stand-out. Agree with ‘The Ascent’. I’d also recommend ‘The Cranes are Flying’.
Come and See is the only true anti-war film.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The Ascent is definitely a must see
The Soviet adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.
Gaidai comedy movies.
I don’t remember Guest From the Future and Elektronik well enough.
17 Moments of Spring - I’m not sure. It does suffer from the awkward pacing of the scenes a bit, IMO, and generally kind of didn’t grip me, unfortunately. I didn’t dislike it, though.
Kin-dza-dza - I couldn’t get into it at all. I completely do not understand the movie’s subtext. This one, I do dislike.
