The censors did not appreciate the short episode at all.
The television film “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” became a real phenomenon known throughout the world. Fans not only in the USSR, but also in other countries continue to enjoy the performances of Vasily Livanov and Vitaly Solomin, as well as exciting detective stories. At the same time, few people know how attentive the strict Soviet censorship was to the show.
The fact is that the experts did not like the dialogue in the part “A Study in Scarlet.” In it, the main characters are just meeting, and Holmes, to show his erudition, asks his new acquaintance how long ago he arrived from Afghanistan.
But the censors did not appreciate this phrase and replaced it with the harmless “Long time since the East?” The fact is that the episode was released in the 80s, just during the military conflict in Afghanistan. And in order not to remind viewers of those events, the censors preferred to completely remove mention of the country from the series.
