This rather cheaply produced series about the spoiled daughter of the Soviet Tsar Leonid Brezhnev, is not well made per se, but recreates the atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s Soviet life very successfully. Actress Elena Plaksina as the young Galina (episodes 1 - 4) is immensely likable and carries the whole production remarkably well, whereas some of the roles are amazingly miscast (they're mostly just unreasonably old). From the technical point of view, this 2008 series, however, hasn't aged well. Still, quite a fun watch if you got into it.
