Some notes:
Russian does not have articles. My mother, who speaks otherwise perfect English, still says things like, "Go put it in a microwave!"1 So in some places I put in "the" in front of a title and in some places I didn't. Add or remove at your own discretion.
1To which I am always tempted to reply, "Which one? We have thirty!"
"Laura Lyons" is a guess-- it's written phonetically as "Lora Laiens". So is "Gobo", whoever or whatever that may be. (Though I think it's the guy with the fangs. HIS FANGS YOU GUYS, I swear they are fucking terrifying.)
I am no great expert in Russian movies-- I've seen a few, but I don't recognize actors on sight the way my mother can-- but when the character of Sir Henry Baskerville showed up, I said, "holy crap, that's the young Nikita Mikhalkov!" Nikita Mikhalkov went on to make, in 1998 or so, a movie called Burnt by the Sun, one of the most powerfully moving things I have ever seen or read. If you want to know about Russian culture, without really sitting down and intentionally studying it, watch that movie. Or just watch if you want to see an incredibly sad movie that somehow manages to be very happy and cheerful in certain spots (which makes it all the more poignant).
So watching the Hound of the Baskervilles episode, and seeing young!Mikhalkov acting so... uh... well, you'll see what I mean... was a little bit jarring. But pretty damn funny all the same. He's supposed to be depicting an American. :)
Oh and speaking of further episodes-- you know how Solomin is more watsony than Freeman? Well the Russian Moriarty is even creepier than Jim. He's like the Master from Doctor Who or something.
