The Tsaritsa made an appearance here, I just can't prove it
The smoke cutting to Dottore is not smooth and not to mention unnecessary. Smoke in cutscenes are usually used when a surprise character shows up or when a character escapes but it just cuts to Dottore answering Columbina.
And in all languages of PS they said The Tsaritsa shows up but for some reason they cut it.

This "cutscene" is probably actually two cutscenes and the smoke was meant to hide the transition between them. It starts off as a traditional pre-rendered cutscene and then uses the smoke to transition to a second that incorporates the new QTE stuff.
Reason for the 2 cutscenes are because the first one was pre-animated, while the second one was rendered in-game so you can do the quick time events.
