Today we're going to talk about something that everyone loves — both children and adults. About cartoons. About those very ones — Soviet and Russian. You will learn why "Hedgehog in the Fog" was recognized as the best cartoon of all time, how Cheburashka conquered Japan, why American children are taught with "Fixies," and why Turkish children ride attractions with Masha and the Bear.

I will tell you about the legends of Soviet animation and popular modern Russian cartoons. You will also learn how a little unknown animal with big ears became a symbol of Russia and why the Japanese make their own TV series about Cheburashka.

Our topic today is: "Soviet and Russian Animation — Love for Life."
