It doesn't seem to have been a big genre, probably because of the difficulty of talking about secret agents in a country where secrecy was brutally enforced and the KGB were deeply feared.

I can however reccomend the Italian bond knockoff genre, including the ridiculous OK Connery: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062078/?ref_=nm_knf_t1

Starring Neil Connery. Music by Ennio Morricone.

And from tonight's bad film club, may I recommend this Czech time travel / twin swap screwball comedy with Nazis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVBPNfKfgNo
