The Soviet Union was not known for being a powerhouse of popular culture export products (Tetris being the only exception). But the dictatorship nonetheless tried to make popular entertainment for domestic and foreign markets.
Mary Poppins, Goodbye is an example. This is two-part musical miniseries in Russian that premiered in 1984. The story is not too unfamiliar to those of us who grew up in the Disney adaptation of the novel. Natalya Adrenychenko stared in the titular role.
You can watch part 1 and part 2 on YouTube. Scrolling through these videos, it's possible to get the gist of the story even without the ability to speak Russian.
