The Happiness of All Mankind - S1-E4

Factual error: When Bachu talks to Pavel during their lunch, two bottles of vodka are visible. Top of the bottle should read: RUSSKAYA, however, it's misspelled and reads "RUSSKAVA." Other issue with those bottles - in the center it should read in Russian "Русская Водка", however, although "Водка" spelled correctly, the "Русская" is misspelled and ends on "ерская", which is incorrect.

Trivia: Despite the overall level of accuracy in the show, one deliberate choice was to use "comrade [surname]", rather than the full name as is typical in formal Russian address. It was felt it would be too distracting for viewers.
