Quality: good

The first six parts were subtitled by spiritcc & co. and posted on the werfkj YouTube channel in August 2014. Later, in November 2015, the completed film was subtitled by (perhaps) Aleksandr Bubnov himself on his channel (with the "Little Black Men" in the translated title changed to "Little Chimney Sweeps"). However, both translations had severe problems with broken English and sometimes not being true to the original meaning. The film is quite wordy and not the easiest to translate.

In July 2024, a new translation was compiled/created by Niffiwan on the foundation of both previous versions.

These subtitles are for the version of the video that is 33:54 long. Another version was also released hardsubbed in English, which includes 10 extra seconds after about the 10-minute mark (with the Admiral commenting about how he's heard of Sherlock Holmes before).
