See the 1970 Russian version of
Crime and Punishment. Would you seriously expect the British or Americans to do Dostoevsky very well?
The 1960s Russian War and Peace was also better than anything the English-speaking world has done. It's said to be the most expensive film ever made, but that's because the regime gave the filmmakers everything they wanted without demanding payment.

The 1965 version of War and Peace is excellent, but my absolute favorite is the 1982-72 TV serialized version with Anthony Hopkins as Pierre Bezukhov.

No. Your point is excellent.
