They should have picked some of the cheerier scenes from Dostoevsky's novels.

Oh wait, right, there aren't any.

At least they didn't pick Tolstoy!
3
They can't just cover it up, I mean it IS Russia, after all

You mean as opposed to ads touting lifestyles and products consumer-riders are supposed to forever grasp at even unto death? Bring on that rascally Raskolnikov!
5
Scenes from Eugene Onegin by Pushkin would have been better. They're almost cheerful.
6
Once someone commits suicide, it'll be a Russian Comedy!

*That's based on the old joke that a Russian Comedy is a story in which only one person dies, as opposed to a Russian Tragedy in which everyone dies.

Please wait...
