* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The young Black Widows are shown watching ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' in 1937. The film premiered at the tail end of 1937 and was released in the United States in February 1938. Though not impossible, it's highly improbable that a copy would show up in Russia by the time of Dottie's flashback.
