Little Moscow (Polish: Mała Moskwa) is a Polish-Russian co-production directed by Waldemar Krzystek and released in 2008.

Plot

It is 1967, the middle of the Cold War in Legnica, south western Poland. The Red Army have turned the town into the largest Soviet garrison on foreign soil due to Legnica's proximity to Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Vera is the wife of the crack Soviet pilot Yura, but after attending a cultural event to ease Polish-Soviet tensions falls head over heels in love with Michał, a Polish officer. The forbidden love takes many twists and turns, and the tale begins and ends in post-Soviet Legnica in 2008 as both Yura and his angry daughter Vera Junior try to make peace with the past.
