It is. I remember reading about it on a Russian website that interviewed one of the art directors (can't remember who) and he said that the communists wanted Alice to have blonde hair, blue eyes, and "a pink, frilly dress" (I remembered this part specifically because it conjured such a strange image in my head) and the artists at Kievnauchfilm (the production company), in an act of defiance, did the complete opposite and made her look "plain". The commissars were angry at this, but they couldn't do much about it and just let the artists roll with an Alice design that coincidentally looked almost identical to the actual Alice Liddell. I wish I could remember where I read it from because it's very interesting to have some insight into how cartoons in the Soviet Union were made since they never really did any behind-the-scenes features and most of the original cels and paper puppets no longer exist.
