Trivia

The 'Urka' (Criminal) personage who stabs Khanin and then later is shot and killed by Ivan Lapshin was played not by a professional actor, but by a real criminal. Aleksey German made this decision to add more realism to these scenes.

This film was shot in the early 1980s, but was not released until the perestroika reforms because it took an ironic look at Soviet idealism.

Nikolay Gubenko auditioned for the role of Ivan Lapshin, yet the director chose to work with Andrei Boltnev because "there was some sort of 'doomed' quality about him – it was clear he'd be shot and killed".

Shot in 1983, this movie was not released until 1985.

The film was based on novellas written by the director Aleksei German's father Iurii P. German (1910-1967).
