Good series based on a novel from 13ish years ago but they have put Africans in roles and I hate that about it.
There were virtually NO Africans in Russia in the early 1900's and certainly not many with Russian names to boot.
As a lover of historical fiction I can tolerate ethnic inclusions which don't pass the smell test if it's a ridiculous comedy such as The Completely Made-up Adventures of Dick Turpin...
...but not for a drama with Ewan McGregor in it.
Our media overlords are trying to erase objectivity.

Actually you are incorrect
Frood rod.
There were Blacks in Russia prior to 1900.
Eg.
Gannibal was the grandfather of a famous Russian writer
