Yes, in my experience these are vital to give a film or series that correct feel. Take for instance all those Robin Hood series/films that have been shot in Eastern Europe. They just look wrong and lack that feeling of Britishness. (at least to me)
I see Anton as one of the most typical Russian fairytale characters, Ivan-the-fool.
Eee! This is so great! All these little pieces of cultural background that I didn't know about. Thank you for telling me. And I love the part about Olga, with it being such an old name and all. It really gives the character an extra dimension.
