The Life and Adventures of Mishka Yaponchik

Real Misha Artistic and witty, his bold crimes were played out like mini dramas. He used to give money and food to orphans, the homeless, the unemployed, newlyweds as well as families who had fallen victim to gangster crime. He held the hearts of the people in his hand and soon controlled the entire city.

…and real Tsilia. Historical fact – Tsilia was not a daughter of a wealthy man. She was just an employee on the “Jacco” factory in Odessa and she met Misha while queuing to by some water. Though, another fact is that she was good-looking and stylish for that time.

…some curious errors in the series Tovarisch Sokolovskaya is declaring her speech stnding on the ЗиС-5 lorry. - The production of this model was started in only 1933.

Misha is using “Maxim” machine-gun (the fist machine-gun of this kind appeared in 1943).
