Although the action takes place entirely in Moscow, but the movie was filmed not only there, although the locations of the capital in the movie is also quite a lot, for example, the creators of the picture were able to get permission to shoot in the Kremlin, including shooting in the Grand Kremlin Palace, so the final scenes are filmed not in the scenery, but in the real St. George's Hall. But many street scenes had to be filmed in Tver, there they found a large number of streets similar to Moscow streets of the 1860s, untouched by modern civilization.
