Production
Khabensky was chosen to play Pyotr Leshchenko, because the creators of the series said that he resembles the singer with his eyes, smile and an air of "nervousness".[4] Leshchenko's widow, Vera Belousova, met Khabensky in the late 1990s and also noted at that time that the actor reminds her of Pyotr.[5]
Konstantin Khabensky and Ivan Stebunov took singing classes to prepare for the shooting, and performed the songs themselves in the film.[6]
Filming took place in Moscow, Moscow Oblast, Yaroslavl, as well as in Lviv and Odessa.[6]
