Barely fitting into the 90s, but my dad really loved Pavel Lungin's Taxi Blues (1990), it was basically a late Soviet Jarmusch film.
"A comedic love/hate relationship develops between a dour taxi driver and a hapless aspiring musician after the latter stiffs his cab fare."
Also Oblako Rai / Cloud-Paradise (1990), featuring Tolokonnikov.
"In a dreary Russian village, over-enthusiastic and underappreciated Kolya spontaneously announces that he has plans to leave for the far-east today, garnering far more attention and support than he anticipated."
Best I can find off hand is an upload on vkvideo but it's a Spanish dub. Doesn't seem to be on any streaming services. I think it's still cropping up in random theatres across Europe.
I think many soviet films with English subs can be found here
