The show is completely out of wack, there were no black people in Russia at that time. Zero. With Cornrows.. !!!????
There are no black people in Russia even now, because Russian Empire didn't travel to Africa to bring slaves, Russia enslaved their own white people.
The show creators just to go with the current 2024 narrative incorporating into the show several characters who are black. What a hypocrisy.
Now things just seem like the medias agenda is shoved down our throats even when it’s contradict the history of that country.
BTW, Russian aristocrats didn't talk to each other with mouthful of food, no way, no how.
Also, nobility in Russia used both hands simultaneously while consuming food, left hand to hold a fork and a right hand to hold a knife. Nobody was holding their own crotch with a left hand under the table while holding fork in a right hand. There was an etiquette.
The entire show is unbelievable misrepresentation of Russian and Soviet history..
