I'll start with russian, 'll add ukrainian and others to thread later.

1) Games by Nival Interactive. Used to be one of my fav domestic devs until they switched to MMOs

Rage of Mages/Аллоды (1998)
Rage of Mages 2/Аллоды II (1999)



Action-rpg with paid merceneries.

Evil Islands/Проклятые Земли (2000)



Spiritual successor to Rage of Mages and one of my all time fav games. Superior to it's predecessors but i remember folks who were against it cause "it's to different". In Evil Islands there are more "RTS/Stealth" elements. Run/Walk/Crouch/Crowl movement, Audibility/Visibility for enemies, damage system with Head/Body/Arms/Legs, pretty good crafing system for weapons/armors/spells. Also you can fight alone or with merceneries. And pause combat to think orders. Enough content too - three continents with different monsters, weapons, materials, towns.

Blitzkrieg/Блицкриг series (2003-)



WW2-themed RTS games. Sold well, sequels not much.

Etherlords/Демиурги (2001)
Etherlords 2/Демиурги 2 (2003)



Nival's attempt at turn-based card trade RPG. Had some weird things. Hello, Pork Souls Spoon Head.

Silent Storm/Операция Silent Storm (2003)



Maybe it's their best. What is Silent Storm? Tactics. Some name it "Jagged Alliance on steroids". Most notable feature is, of course, desctruction of environments. Could change fight's condition to any unexpected case. S^S is a very solid game, but nowodays it's too demanding in time for me (or i m spoiled by FFT)

2) Ice-Pick Lodge

Pathologic/Мор. Утопия (2005)



Guess you've already tried this game or at least heard about. It's survival adventure/action in infected provincial town. Gameplay is good, but most gamers hated it with passion. Plot is also good. Remake is currently in development, hope they won't broke it while fixing.

The Void/Тургор/Тургор: Голос Цвета (2008/2009)



The Void is kinda a resource management/survival game. Your main enemy is time. Your resourses are colours. Different colours have different properties. You take colours to be alive and to use them for actions, but you also must plant them. Also there are Sisters and Brothers, which 'll make u spend colours too. The Void is pretty beautiful game - from "trees" and architecture/landscape to characters (pretty women and bizzare surreal enemies).

Cargo!/Эврика! (2011)



Cargo! Quest for Gravity, in contrast to Pathologic and The Void, is bright and lighthearted little game where you need kick midget's, craft vehicles and make buildings fall down back on Earth.

Knock-Knock/Тук-Тук-Тук (2013)



Can't say much about it. You play as someone staying in a lone house somewhere in the forest and you're trying to not die every night.

3) Games by K-D Lab

Vangers: One for the Road/Вангеры (1998)



Pretty strange vehicle sandbox game (being compared to Elite cosmosim often) with insectoid merchants.

Moonshine Runners/Самогонки (2001)



Partly turn-based arcade racing.

Perimeter/Периметр (2004)



Some experiment with RTS mechanics.

4) MiST Land South

Paradise Cracked/Код Доступа: РАЙ (2002)



Cyperpunk tactics.

COPS 2170/Власть Закона (2005)



A better prequel.

5) Eagle Dynamics games - flight simulators, considered the best of the best

Su-27 Flanker (1996)



Lock-On: Modern Air Combat (2003)

6) Gaijin Entertainment

X-Blades/Ониблэйд (2007/2009)

FTP flight game.

7) Games by Katauri Interactive

King's Bounty: The Legend/King's Bounty: Легенда о Рыцаре (2008)



Spiritual successor/remake of 1989's King's Bounty TBS/RPG.

8) Different games by different companies

A.I.M.2: Clan Wars/Механоиды 2 (2006)



Another series that combines vehicle sim with rpg and adventure elements.

Parkan/Паркан: Хроника Империи (1997)



Cosmosim with FPS and Roguelike elements, was a success but following games failed.

Z.A.R.: Zone of Artificial Resources (1997)



FPS from IL-2 Sturmovik authors.

IL-2 Sturmovik/Ил-2: Штурмовик (2001)



Flight Sim or Arcade depending on setting. Cult following, fan base still consider it being the best one in series.

Hard Truck Apocalypse/Ex Machina (2005)



Post-apocalypse combat racing.

Alien Shooter (2003)



Arcade shooting fuck yeah
