    • Trivia
      The character of Orlo appears to be loosely based on the similarly named real-life figure Grigory Orlov, who led the coup that overthrew Peter.
    • Goofs
      During the show there are songs performed in Russian language that have nothing to do with the historic period depicted in the show. An example of it is a children's choir singing a patriotic song about the Red Army during the dinner with the ambassador of Sweden. The Red Army did not exist until 1918, a year after the Russian Revolution. Another song featured in the show was about the fight of Soviet people against the Naazi Germany during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and has been widely popular in the war-torn former USSR.

    History be damned, on with the laughs!
    So just to get this out of the way: this show is anything but historically accurate. If you want one more like that, Russia-1's Ekaterina is like that.

    But anyways, if you really want to find this show incredibly funny, read up on the history of Catherine the Great.

    Also, to the person who did the editing for Season 1 Episode 8, why would you use "The Sacred War"?! I know historical accuracy wasn't on the table, but for gods sake don't intentionally mix up the eras (The Sacred War was written in 1941).
