The Duelist
Дуэлянт
2016 · Film · 110 min
Directed by Aleksei Mizgiryov
Returning to Saint Petersburg after a long exile, the dashing Yakovlev, a retired army officer, makes a comfortable living by winning other people's duels. An enigmatic, focused, and extremely skilled professional, he leaves a trail of dead bodies behind him as he swirls through polite society, frequently called upon to wield a pistol as a surrogate in duels at dawn. But when Yakovlev meets the naïve young Prince Tuchov and his beautiful sister, Princess Martha, the normally cold-hearted mercenary is surprised by hitherto undetected emotions. What transpires uncovers a series of revelations about his past and his present self.

I did not see this one: Ulysses and the Stars (1976)
Loved it when I was a child. But I will give you a few excellent Russian movies:
Duelist https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5282006/
Kollector https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5031998/
Mermaid (more a girls movie but underrated in my opinion) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7162390/
