Trivia

Sergey Garmash dreamed to participate in any Nikita Mikhalkov's movie for a long time. He literally begged the director to give him a role in his movie. One morning Mikhalkov called him and asked "Do you go to church". Garmash said "Yes". Mikhalkov then asked "Do you pray a lot?". Garmash said "Yes". Mikhalkov then said "Your prayers have been heard! The script is on the way".

Faq

Is there any "factual error" in the movie?

***In the United States, where Twelve Angry Men was set, generally juries in criminal cases must render their verdict unanimously, whether "guilty" or "not guilty"; this film follows the same premise. However, in Russia the jury must return a "not guilty" verdict if at least six jurors out of twelve vote "not guilty". ***One of the jurors in his reminiscences mentions a Lithuanian SS division. Lithuania was one of the few nations in Europe that did not create an SS division. [wikipedia]
