Is the English transliteration or whatever of this game actually SMUTA?

That's going to be kind of awkward, might need a renaming if it comes to western markets.
It's kind of an outdated term with several intervened meanings including "troubled times" or "sedition".
But in this particular case it is the name of a concrete time period so bears no translation.
At least it should not be too hard to prounce unlike some "semiboyarschina" tongue-twisters which is an alternative name for the very same (well, not exaclty the same, a bit shorter) time period.

Insert Title Here Strap Yourselves In I helped put crap in Monomyth
it's an shame this game is overwhelmingly bleh and mediocre at best. there's only a small handful of RPG's set during the early modern era. binging With Fire and Sword years ago gave me a taste for RPG's set during this era - and with notable exceptions like Sea Dogs - no one has really bothered making games set during this time period

The graphics and surroundings look nice... It could be decent if they polished mechanics a bit (story and writing maybe? It's hard to say from some Russian guy's YouTube review). It's sad, as I would kill for another decent historical game.

Unfortunate. There are so many cool unexplored historical settings. Even games that are sort of set in them barely scrape the surface, like the ass creeds and total wars, which mostly use the setting as a backdrop. And then the new ones are just bad games on top of that, like tw pharaoh, and this.
But they'd rather come up with Original Setting™ DONUTSTEEL about fatewinders and balltwisters and other highly creative pulp fantasy words only prestigious english major minds could conjure up. Why? You have thousands of years of human history to speculate on and explore. But most historical stuff, not just games, is about ww2 and we wuz romanz. And most historical games are strategies, which, again, mostly use the setting as a backdrop. Cold war (phantom doctrine - kind of sucks, cold war era espionage setting being awesome is its big redeeming quality), bronze age collapse, pike and shot, Chinese warlords era, Russian revolution, Golden Horde conquests, Mesoamerican civilizations, Vikings (expeditions games), Crusades. Loads of settings lacking games, let alone good ones. Look at dominions, how it sources its ~100 nations from myths and legends of various cultures and fiction works. Not historical, but still something interesting that already exists. Now wrap that around any RPG engine. A witcher, a deus ex, a gothic, a jagged alliance, even baldurs gate... I would play the fuck out of that.
I guess it's a huge undertaking + no one gives a fuck about history + there's always political bullshit to deal with when making something like this (I question this argument, because games are perceived as entertainment and the tons of historical games that have been made most likely didn't involve much or any political oversight. there are probably some exceptions).
This goes to show just how unique KCD is.
