Anecdotally since I see people referring to other Soviet TV shows making their way to Western audiences a friend turned me to on Comrade Detective. It's a fascinating view into propaganda as entertainment from the Cold War. It's free on Amazon Prime's streaming service.
From IMDB:
Parody comedy designed to resemble a non-existent gritty 1980's Cold War Romanian police show that promoted Communist ideals. The action-packed and blood-soaked first season finds Detectives Gregor Anghel and Joseph Baciu investigating the murder of fellow officer Nikita Ionescu and, in the process, unraveling a subversive plot to destroy their country that is fueled by what-else-but the greatest enemy: Capitalism.
