Reception
On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an approval rating of 60% with an average rating of 6/10, based on 10 reviews.

The series was described by The Guardian as "a surreal Wikipedia entry brought to life", in a review which pointed out production errors such as a bottle with the word “vodka” misspelled in Cyrillic, and a shot of Red Square, supposedly in 1905, featuring Lenin's Mausoleum which was not built until 1924.
