Maybe by our modern standards. But the movie was so revolutionary at that time that it was edited, voice-overed and all the mentions of the Soviet actors removed, fake American names were added in credits. And I think some additional scenes were shot in US (source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planeta_Bur).
Another famous movie was edited by young Francis Ford Coppola (who was also inspired by Soviet cinema) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Beyond_the_Sun
