This Soviet production serves as a high-fidelity reconstruction of Victorian London. It prioritizes historical accuracy and the classical detective framework over contemporary characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. The film adheres to established social hierarchies, emphasizing the intellectual ability to act of its male protagonists. This traditionalist approach results in a homogeneous cast and limited character diversity. Ultimately, the work celebrates the preservation of social stability and traditional justice. It does not attempt to modernize or deconstruct the racial or gendered landscapes of the 19th century.
