How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbelievable_Adventures_of_Italians_in_Russia ; screwball comedy about running all over Leningrad in search of a buried fortune.
I realised it wasn't your ordinary comedy when one of the early jokes involved landing an Aeroflot flight on a highway. There's a splendidly bizarre explosion/dream sequence bit in the middle. And a lion chase.

Anyway, much of Mosfilm is on Youtube.
