Trivia
The song played at Tatiana's Naming Day feast is "On the Hills of Manchuria". It is not a folk song. It was written in 1906 by Ilya Shatrov, bandmaster of 214 Mokshansky infantry regiment, after tragical events of Russian-Japanese war.

Much like the character of Lensky, author Alexander Pushkin was killed in a duel after challenging a man for seducing his wife, Natalya. Pushkin's home in St Petersburg can be seen in the background when Onegin sits on his balcony in this film's final scene.

Martha Fiennes, the director, Ralph Fiennes, the star and executive director, and Magnus Fiennes, the composer, are all siblings. Additionally, another sister, Sophie Fiennes, Martha's husband, George Tiffin, Ralph's partner, Francesca Annis, and Magnus' wife Maya Fiennes, were all involved in the film.

Goofs
The song played at Tatiana's Naming Day feast - "On the Hills of Manchuria" - could not be played there, as the movie is set in the first half of the 19th century, and the song was written only in 1906 (and named after tragic events of the Russian-Japanese war of 1904-1905 years).

Ortodox Tatiana's Naming Day is January 26, but it is summertime in the movie.
