A Cold War era movie from 70's or early 80's

Can anybody please help me find this film? Apparently a Cold War era movie.
The main villain was seemingly an old man dressed in black and had a Soviet Union badge. At the end the film he is wounded, trapped inside a crashed car right on the edge of a cliff. The protagonist waits for the villain to come around, throws the Soviet badge to him, kicks the car, and it flies down the cliff into the canyon exploding.

I remember most of the production was set in snowy landscapes.

Also halfway into the film the protagonist and a woman are captured and held on a freighter.

There was a scene where the protagonist returns to their safe-house to discover his partner dead with his throat slit, lying in his car.
Sorry I can’t provide any more details. The thing is I saw it only once when I was 5 or 6, over 30 years ago.
I assume it should be either from 70’s or early 80’s.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Stay safe!

That first part you describe sounds a lot like a scene from the James Bond film 'For Your Eyes Only' (1981).

Check out the car-on-a-cliff scene here:

Octagonal glasses guy had a weird dove pin, and not a USSR emblem, IIRC.

Thank you soooo much for the link. This could quite possibly be the one. I'll know for sure when I see the whole thing Funny thing I had memorised the villain to be pretty old. I'd have never guessed to look for it in older James Bond films )))

Thanks a bunch again!

I'll check the movie for now. Hopefully this is the one. Thanks for your feedback

Hopefully it is the one. Some of the details you mention don;t fit the film, but some do. I have found that for me, I sometimes conflate two films from back then, somehow merging the details in my mind in the memory, only to discover later that it was actually two films I was remembering.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. It was "For your eyes only". Thanks a bunch!

It was the one. Thanks a lot for your help!

That's great news. Thank you for reporting back Jacob1981 -- it's always nice to have an answer confirmed.

Are you sure it's For Your Eyes Only, because there was no freighter, or Soviet badge in the movie.

Absolutely! It's the movie I was looking for. Thank you so much for your help!
