I just read about a Soviet-era version of Lord of the Rings...
Apparently it's been posted to YouTube for the delight of any Russian-speaking viewers - though apparently the mish-mash of weird costumes and dodgy visual effects are accessible regardless of your native tongue.
The first article I saw was at https://winteriscoming.net/2021/04/02/watch-soviet-era-russian-adaptation-lord-rings/
And then the BBC did some coverage at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56641258 which is excellent mainly because of the interview with someone who remembers the original release, and what it said about the state of the Soviet Union at the time.
Enjoy...

Not all that different from 70's era Dr Who, perhaps...
