I caught the end of an undistinquished film called '' Under a Tuscan Sun ''
where a Polish character uses a Kiev 4 - seemingly without focusing !

Has anyone glimpsed an ex-USSR camera in a film ?
 
Well the most prominent example would probably be Krysztof Kieślowski's "Camera Buff" ("Amator") of 1979, which very prominently features Soviet cameras, such as the grand scene where he turns his Krasnogorsk-3 movie camera on himself in the end. ;)
 
I love Amator!

Even though knowing the K-3 is not synched for sound somehow ruins the final scene.
 
Saw Milk yesterday (which landed an Oscar for Sean Penn I think), I believe he uses a Kiev (or maybe a Contax)

My wife watches some of the mystery movies on the Hallmark channel here in the US. In one of the movies, the main character uses a Zorki 3. It might be a leica, but there is no name on it so it is hard to tell. In my mind, it is and always will be a Zorki 3. I know that this thread is about Kievs, but that is the only FSU sighting I have had.
 
The submarine movie "K-19" featured a FED-1 or Zorki-1. Appears in the scene where the submarine surfaces in an arctic glacier. A crew man shoots the other crew playing football on ice with FED or Zorki camera.
 
In "Indigenes" aka "Days of Glory" a french movie about French Colonial troops in WWII a reporter uses a Zorki C (or 2C) as a stand in for a Leica.
