** This troper found the lyrics to the prologue:
-->''Slava revolyutsii! Mnogo nas ubito\\
Legche zhaletʹ kakogo-to sytnogo, rasputnogo\\
Vsë naprasno - luchshe kostër!''

-->''Slava revolyutsii! Mnogo nas ubito\\
(Ah...)\\
Nechego teryatʹ! Svoboda? Yesli by...\\
Vidit Bozhe, my idëm k novym mestam, ey...''

-->''Slava revolyutsii! Mnogo nas ubito\\
Tekh, kogo na-na-naado. (nado)\\
Vo slavu revolyutsii!\\
Kto vyderzhit, tot skazhet: "Slava! Slava!"''
** Roughly translated:
-->''Glory to the Revolution! Many have died\\
We are desolute\\
All is in vain--the flames arise!''

-->''Glory to the Revolution! Many have died\\
(Ah...)\\
We have lost something precious! Freedom?\\
If we See God, we flee to the new places''

-->''Glory to the Revolution! Many have died\\
''Those left we rely on, in the glory of revolution!\\
-->''Who will maintain, that he will say: "Glory! Glory!"''

** It's been confirmed that Anastasia was murdered. Originally, only three of the four grand duchesses' bodies were found, and one sister and their brother Alexei were believed to be missing. However, American and Russian scientists disagreed over which body was missing -- Anastasia's or her older sister Maria's. In 2010, the remaining bodies were found, but again the Americans and Russians disagreed over whether the findings were Alexei and Maria or Alexei and Anastasia. Regardless, we know she's dead.

**** The Tsar's family was not executed on Lenin's orders. Even an investigation by the viruently anti-communist present Russian government corroborated this.

** Additionally, he is dragged away just before the Empress makes the music box play, thus keeping him from knowing it ''is'' a music box. This is key later, when Anya's [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay instinctive knowledge of how to open it]] proves her identity, since Dimitri could not have told her.
