A brief English introduction for the Cartoon series Masyanya.
Israel-based Russian animator Oleg Kuvaev criticised the Russian invasion of Ukraine in episode 160 of his webseries Masyanya. In the episode, Putin is compared to Adolf Hitler and is given a katana, implying that he undertakes seppuku. Roskomnadzor banned the cartoon.
The following episode explained to children that what they witnessed was not to be spoken aloud for fear of drawing the Russian authorities’ anger and lust for administrative violence.
The subsequent episode depicted a Chinese attack on Russia with bombs falling on Novgorod, Moscow and Tver. The Chinese attack is motivated by a desire to denazify Russia and recuperate Chinese lands, and observes that Russian is not a real language but rather a derivative of the Ukrainian language.
It concludes with a parenthetical observation that “this war” is the shame of Russia and that Russia will as a result suffer damnation for centuries.
