Russian movie version of the Cuban Missile Crisis

I have seen a series of Hollywood depictions of the The Cuban Missile Crisis, including a segment in the 1983 mini series Kennedy starring Martin Sheen.I would love to know if the Soviet Union or the Russian Federation ever made a film/ TV drama that showed the crisis from the Russian point of view. We are used to seeing the Kennedys, Curtis Le May and Adlai Steveson arguing about the missiles , what about Khruschev and Gromyko? I would love to know if such a film was ever made?

Can anyone shed any light?

I'd like to see one too, but no doubt all the info about the Soviet side of it is kept secret.

Didn't you ever see X-Men: First Class?

Shaw was busy convincing the USSR to put missiles in Turkey and then this coercion of various heads within the armed forces made Khruschev and the rest deploy the fleet.

It would be called "The Turkish Missile Crisis" and be about the tactful and brilliant play the soviets made by placing missiles in Cuba in order to have a bargaining chip. That chip was cashed in when Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev demanded that the United States agree to remove its Jupiter missiles from Turkey in exchange for a Soviet removal of missiles from Cuba.
