 Although Viktor comes from the fictional country of Krakozhia, the  language he speaks in the movie is Bulgarian. The written material  shown (the Fodors guide and the magazine page with the jazz greats)  is in Russian. The label on the Planters peanuts can is neither in  Bulgarian nor in Russian. Viktors driving license is issued in  Gomel, Republic of Belarus, and has a womans name on it (written in  Cyrillic).
