I am pretty sure the movie you are thinking of is called "Born American", made in 1986.I saw it along time ago. Go to www.imdb.com and do a search for this. You know I might have to rent that again.

It involves West and East Germany instead of Russia but the movie you describe makes me think of Gotcha.
