The series are in Russian and since I'm a Russian speaker I can absolutely state that it is a disgrace to acting profession. I will not go into discussion how 1915-1920 were presented to viewers, but I want to point out the way actors play. The Russian actors completely forgot how to speak Russian, especially the language of that particular era. They sound unnatural. There is no trace of Stanislavsky method at all. They sound miserable when they have to present their feelings. It is absolutely painful to watch. The original miniseries of 1977 presented acting skills on the cosmic level compared to this production. I'm so ashamed that my former countrymen lost the beauty of the language completely. It is a disgrace
