Quite appropriate actually.

The Tetris music was actually taken from the Russian Folk song "Korobeiniki".

The designer of the game Alexey Pajitnov created it in 1984, while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow.
What, me worry?

None of the producers were Russian: no credibility.

My wife tells me the Russian accent was unbearably bad.

Otherwise, cool video though....

Well, there's fake, and then there's painted with really broad (even caricature-like) strokes.
