Did anybody find it weird that a series that ended with a rousing affirmation of the value of truth was full of so much gratuitous falsehood? I was just reading the article and a name popped up: "Mikhail Ivanovich Shchadov", who looked pretty flash in the series, so I looked the real guy up, and one commenter had this to say: "Mikhail Ivanovich Shchadov, the coal industry minister, is portrayed as a young, weak and fop man who allegedly has nothing to do with coal mining and is far apart from the working class. In real life Shchadov was a strong, rigorous and togated minister who had worked in the coal industry since the age of 15. He was a former miner and mechanic in Siberia." Literally every time I've looked up something from that series, this has happened. And I've looked up a lot of stuff, because a lot of it didn't seem realistic. I get trying to make a story dramatic, but when the whole thrust of the movie is about the price of lies, what are we supposed to think? Genuinely baffled.
