The Sixth (Shestoy) (1981)

The Sixth (Shestoy) is a 1981 Russian "eastern" action movie by Samvel Gasparov. The story takes place in 1920s, in a small town that is terrorised by a gang of outlaws. Roman Glodov (Sergey Nikonenko) is the sixth chief of militia (the same as sheriff in Wild West town) - five his predecessors were killed by the gang. Now Glodov and his team are ready to fight.

The movie plot has some similarities with Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven.
