Elena Evanovich: [about orphan] She goes to school like the others until she's 16. Then, hopefully, she learns a trade: Waitress, secretary... If not, she's out on the street like the others, and then we're taking in *their* babies.
Anka: That's terrible.
Elena Evanovich: You still feel sad in the middle of this happiness. You really *are* Russian.

The Best of Eight Great Episodes
While I thoroughly enjoyed all eight episodes of Season 1 of The Romanoffs, I'd say Episode 7, End of the Line, is the superstar of the group. It is some of the most compelling TV watching, and filmed dramas in general, that I've seen. There are two factors I believe caused this show to have such impact: one is the setting and photography. Supposed to be Russia, though filmed in its neighbor, Romania, it just oozed strangeness and cold - both literal and figurative. The realism of the snow-covered neighborhoods was incredibly effective in combining with the foreign-ness of the environment to make the couple in it feel alienated and anxious. Likewise for the portrayal of the bureaucratic details, including the shabbiness of much that they encountered, along with the rules, the bureaucrats, and the presence of military people with guns posted everywhere.
The second factor is the combined effect of an outstanding script and equally exceptional acting. Together, Ferguson and Hahn were so realistic and believable that I don't see how any viewer could fail to feel the emotions they were presumably feeling. Or, maybe I should speak for myself and say how I felt all the various emotions - and they went through a wide range - the husband and wife experienced. From beginning to end this drama was utterly believable, and as said above, compelling. Bravo to the writers, director, actors and everyone involved.
