Yes, there is a film called Зоя (or Zoya).  It was made in 1944.  It was directed by Leo Arnshtam and starred Aleksei Batalov and Rostisslav Plyatt.  Music was composed by Dmitri Shostakovich.  It's based on the life of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya.  You can get it here if you speak Russian: http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=407531
