Alright people! time for innacuracies. I have yet to find genuine anachronisms, so I'm gonna be talking about incorrect information because to most people I'm a nerd with every right to be.
1st. There actually aren't any observatories/planetariums in the Belarusian State University.
You heard me right. But it isn't that simple, there's some observatories and a planetarium in the real Minsk area that are a few minutes or a short drive from the real BSU, but aren't exactly in the campus area.
2nd. "Vorona" would technically make Henrik a woman if it wasn't a nickname. I'm gonna mention this thing twice, but Russian is a gendered language, and the Cyrillic character [a] is a feminine ending, so Henrik probably should have chosen a better nickname.
3rd. This isn't an innacuracy, but a
53.2% of the country of Belarus speaks Belarusian, whilst 41.5% speak Russian. You'd think Artiom's family would speak Belarusian, but I guess they're just part of that rounded up 42%.
4. I can't 100% say I have backed research for this, but there were 0 signs of any Icelandic people going to the Belarusian SSR for education, or even higher education for that purpose specifically.
5. Office Secretary Izsosna technically would have also been a woman if I didn't catch that, yet I'm not sure many of you would have noticed that due to how fast I changed it.
Side note 1: I know that Artiom isn't supposed to be able to speak perfect Icelandic, but if I can slow read Russian sentences, and memorize the whole 33 character alphabet, then Artiom can read Icelandic of the 80s.
Side note 2: I will update this as I see more inaccuracies/accidental typos. If you guys find any, I'd like to hear them.
