I wait until they re-discover Soviet SF from 1960s.

Not exactly from 1960s, but: The Mystery of the Third Planet 1981 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TAmISW76Rk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noon_Universe (not coincidentally, this name is also reminiscent of the sun)

One thing to bear in mind is that the series begins with stories that are very optimistic (some would say naively so), but the themes increasingly became darker as the authors aged.

Most of it is difficult to read nowadays, it’s mostly about spreading the idea of communism to the outer space and coping with the ideologically immature alien nations. But there are some gems, of course. Strugatsky brothers as a fine example, they started to write on early 60s and even thought their early prose is full of communism ideology, the overall quality is amazing. Check their “Hard to be God” book, it’s one of my all time favorites.
