Мультики+(Cartoons)

Russia has a long history of cartoons. From the days of the Soviet Union to today, cartoons are popular with children all over the country.

There are two famous cartoon characters from the Soviet era. The first, is Винни Пух. This is the Russian version of Winnie the Pooh.



As you can see in the above picture, the Russian version of Winnie the Pooh looks very different from the American version of the same cartoon character. You can watch many Vinni Puh videos on Youtube. The first thing you will probably notice is how much he likes to sing. If you would like to watch some shows with Vinni Puh in action, you can visit [|this Youtube video.] From there, you can find links to many other Vinni Puh videos.

Another classic cartoon charater from the Soviet era, is the adorable Чебурашка (Cheburashka). It is hard to determine exactly what sort of animal Cheburashka actually is, the one thing we do know is that he's just plain cute.



Cheburashka, along with his crocodile friend, Гена have many adventures, including wanting to become part of the Soviet Children's group "The Young Pioneers." This cartoon also features some very well known songs such as "Голубой Вагон" and a very famous birthday song that Gena sings.
