Tatyana herself, in an interview with TASS, said that she was pleased with the work, because she received a decent fee on this show. However, the dependence in creative decisions on the will of the director made her want to start doing her own project. “I understood: you need to create something of your own, while there is strength and desire, while the viewer goes to look at me.” Reading the story “Ruslan and Lyudmila” to her little daughter at night, she realized that she could create her own unique show based on it.
