The name was originally created by the series producer, Mr. Che Boludo.He would say years after: -I came out with that name, when I was heavily stoned after smoking a cuban newspaper… I remember myself saying “Hey! Why not Montaña Rusa? Montaña would stand for a little pile of terrible actors in your TV and “Rusa” -Russian in English-, because it’s just like the russian roulette, you want to shot yourself after watching an episode. "During those years, the world was also transitioning from a Cold War scenario, so we thought of the name as an ironic way to say that communist russians were still fashionable and handsome", he added.
