* "Buratino":
** The murder is committed in a ''Literature/TheGoldenKeyOrTheAdventuresOfBuratino''-themed restaurant, and for a long time, the suspect is only known as Malvina. [[spoiler:When it's revealed the murderer was DisguisedInDrag, Tikhonov dubs him Buratino instead; bonus point that the victim's last name is Karlov and he is the murderer's father, leading to the [=FES=] musing that this Buratino has killed his Papa Carlo]].
** When the murderer tries to get away DisguisedInDrag, Lisitsyn comments "Nobody's perfect".
* "The Dead Hour" includes several references to ''The Tale of the Military Secret, The Boy-Kibalchish and His Firm Word'', a popular Soviet children's story by Arkady Gaidar. Culminates in [[spoiler:a military salute at Nikita's funeral]] and Lisitsyn quoting the final line of the story verbatim.
* "Just Like The Movie" features [[Film/EyesWideShut a sex party with both men and women wearing masks (with coats for men)]].
* The murder in "Lolita" looks like a WholePlotReference to [[spoiler:Charlotte's death]] in [[Literature/{{Lolita}} Nabokov's novel]]. [[spoiler:Until it's revealed that the girl in question, a ChildProdigy ManipulativeBitch, was the one pulling the strings the entire time]].
* "Secret Mission" features this dialogue between Rogozina and suspect, Vikentiy Konetsky (who actually met [[ItMakesSenseInContext Subbotin in drag]]):
--> '''Konetsky''': ...But Olya... is a different deal. She's sensitive, sharp-minded. It's a pity her real name is Leonid.
--> '''Rogozina''': (beat) [[Film/SomeLikeItHot Nobody is perfect]].
* In "The Wench", woman [[Literature/TheMasterandMargarita gets decapitated by tram]]. It constantly gets lampshaded in the episode, starting with Dunaeva asking Shustov if he has found any sunflower oil on the rails.
