By virtue of his office, Captain Pronin is engaged on missions to fight crime, wherein his extraordinary abilities and a fair bit of luck help him to emerge unscathed from tough battles with delinquents.

[2] According to Zaitsev's co-author Sergey Belorusets, Captain Pronin is a "modern Ivan the Fool", meaning by this a hero of justice, that goes unbeaten through any troubles without killing his opponents, and wittily solves the most complex cases, while remaining a simpleton and a good man.

As indicated in the closing credits, around 45 people worked together in animating and producing the Captain Pronin series at Studio Ekran in Moscow.

Because of the modest budget, the series had 4–5 animators and 8–10 artists in the first two episodes, which was reflected on the quality of its background images—they were poorly drawn or even absent, becoming a kind of a recognizable "feature".

Besides the main series, Captain Pronin segments had appeared in the last episode, "Puss in Boots", of a 1993 Yunafilm's four-part compilation cartoon, The Return of Leopold the Cat, directed by Rosalia Zelma, Anatoly Reznikov, and Mikhail Zaitsev.

It features the series' second film Captain Pronin in America, which was described by him as a "real trash", and a "[Russian] answer to Police Academy 7: Mission to Moscow".

[11] After the cartoon series, Mikhail Zaitsev in collaboration with Sergey Belorusets wrote a detective parody in prose, Superment – Thrillers About Captain Pronin, with the volume of 18 author's sheets.

[1][15] After his proposal was accepted by IDDK, the game was produced by Рavel Krivoruchko, the music was made with the help of composer Taras Buhevsky, the graphics was created by artist Yelena Karavaeva, and the development process took less than three months in total.

[16] The adventure quest has 400 endings[1] and 200 animated scenes,[16] its graphics has the similar style as the cartoon series,[16] and the text contains humour, jokes and allusions to various foreign and domestic pop culture references.
