List Of Soviet Submissions For The Academy Award For Best International Feature Film
The Soviet Union submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film between 1963 and 1991.

Each year, the Academy invites countries to submit their best films for competition, with only one film being accepted from each country. The Soviet Union had a strong record in the category, receiving a total of nine nominations between 1968–1984, including three winners – ''War and Peace'', ''Dersu Uzala'' and ''Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears''.

Sergei Bondarchuk, Sarajevo, 29
Sergius is a male given name of Ancient Roman origin after the name of the Latin ''gens'' Sergia or Sergii of regal and republican ages.

It has given rise to numerous variants, present today mainly in the Romance (Serge, Sergio, Sergi) and Slavic languages (Serhii, Sergey, Serguei). It is not common in English, although the Anglo-French name Sergeant is possibly related to it.
