A Russian version of the studio’s Perfect Strangers debuted last week on Russian channel Ren TV.

The show, about a country bumpkin who moves into the big city apartment of his urban cousin, has undergone a few changes to better reflect the local audience.

The mismatched roommates originally named Larry and Balki have become Ivan and Andrei. In the first episode, Andrei arrives from a remote ex-Soviet republic and insinuates himself into the Moscow apartment of his cousin, Ivan.  (ref)
