All Russian Doll Season 2's Surprising True Stories Explained
Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Russian Doll season 2.
Netflix's Russian Doll season 2 travels back in time to explore the familial pasts of Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) — and, as the pair go back in time, they uncover some fascinating true stories.

In an attempt to clear up the transgressions of their families' pasts, Nadia and Alan attempt to unravel the mysteries behind some real-life stories. Russian Doll season 2 moves away from the Groundhog Day-style of time loops that were present in Russian Doll season 1, but that doesn't mean Nadia and Alan can't find a new way to break time itself.
