Trivia
For the disco club scene two real Russian bands were invited to play, "Arax" and "Mashina Vremeny" both extremely popular back then. Information sneaked away to the public and set was overcrowded by both bands fans to listen for their music and eventually provide mass dancing background free of charge for the film makers, completely unexpected.
