Thats curious, there are multiple Russian and even Soviet-era characters which I don't think western people know about.
You can click characters to show who they are, as well.
Definitely too many to be random. I think they are all mostly soviet era things, no? So the author is likely an émigré from the USSR.
I just spotted Steven Segal is munching on a carrot.
The two language options are English and Russian.
