The English description says "Russia, 1987". This is incorrect. It's 1984 (before the Perestroyka polity), Uzbekfilm studio in Tashkent (now Uzbekistan). Interestingly, the crew surnames are some Uzbek, some Russian, some Korean (Tsoi) and even one German last name.

I know a person who published(!, but easier to check) citation-bugs of this variety (not defending this, just pointing out a possible WASP-slav superposition condition :)

I also love sci fi that explores the human condition. However my first foray into Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles) left me a bit cold. Are there other works you'd recommend?
Short stories are, IMO, where he really shines. The Illustrated Man is a good collection to start with, as is The Golden Apples of the Sun . But read them slowly, and (this may be a controversial statement) in a physical paper book.
