6-grader Kolya Gerasimov discovers a time machine in a basement of an old house in Moscow and gets transferred into the 21st century. There he is allowed to look around. Accidentally, Kolya witnesses two space pirates who arrive from Saturn and later try to steal a device called a "Mielophone" (which can read thoughts) from Alisa Seleznyova - a girl that performs experiments with this device and animals. Kolya manages to save the device from the pirates and brings it back to the 20th century. But both pirates and Alisa get there too. Alisa knows where Kolya studies but doesn't know what he looks like. Pirates saw Kolya, but don't know anything about him. Written by Boris Shafir

there is a wonderful quote from a soviet movie called guest from the future, you can watch the whole movie on youtube with english subtitles here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BB6bwJ9agM
Anyways, the quote is:
>> You are a pathetic victim of an idle mind.
I think this aptly describes the author.
One of my favorite scifi/fantasy series as a child was set in our world, but in which things like magic & Baba Yaga were real, historical entities. I forget how their eventual disappearance was justified, but I loved it as a kid.
I think it was this series here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alisa_Selezneva
One of the stories was turned into a great piece of animation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mystery_of_the_Third_Planet
And apparently this movie is also set in the same continuity?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guest_from_the_Future
The premise of cult classic USSR movie Guest From Future [1] is that a boy walks for a kefir with the bottles for exchange and then gets into time travel adventure.

Some products like sourcream and milk were sold into buyers' containers. Which reduced amount of thrash significantly, compared to the "predictable availability" of today's world.
"The mystery of the third planet" is [..] based on a children's science fiction novella "Alice's Travel" by Kir Bulychev [..], which made an even bigger impact with live action movie "Guest from the future" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhA8YyAn2fE https://www.amazon.com/Guest-from-the-Future/dp/B07171ZTHP ), perfectly preserving that spirit of the passionate era that is now lost (for those with imageboard background, that's kind of soviet Bridge to Terabithia).
From easy-going spirit, - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmB4DfG-3K4 "Wow, a talking fish" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNQ1B7-Miog "I will give you this star!"
to late perestroyka era, - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnJbtbh4tDE Polygon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LNHYz89sNc "There Will Come Soft Rains" (Bradbury) these cartoons retell a story of an early Heinlein era turning into Orwell/Huxley state.
merci je wel! From the same book series:

I think Julia's grandmother knows a thing or two because she's seen a thing or two?
(Wikipedia claims brits and french got this one, but we never did)
