''Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears'' is so iconic as a representation of the Russian soul (“russkaya dusha”) that, when Paige's mom wanted to indoctrinate her as a Russian spy on ''Series/TheAmericans'', they watched this film. Meanwhile, according to [[https://russianfilmhub.com/movies/moscow-does-not-believe-in-tears-1980/ Russian Film Hub]], the film is so emblematic of the Russian soul that then American President Ronald Reagan watched the movie “at least eight times” before he first met his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev. This iconic film has also received great critical acclaim. Along with ''Film/{{War and Peace|1966}}'', ''Film/DersuUzala'' and ''Film/BurntByTheSun'', ''Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears'' is one of four Russian-language films to win the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestForeignLanguageFilm.
