Cheburashka

Cheburashka is a fictional character created by Soviet writer Eduard Uspensky in his 1965 children's book Gena the Crocodile and His Friends. The character has appeared in cartoon movies in 1971, 2023, and 2026. Describing the character in a 2026 New York Times article, Alexander Nazaryan wrote: "He might be a monkey, or maybe a bear. It never really mattered to the generations of Soviet children who embraced Cheburashka, a taxonomically ambiguous cartoon character with enormous ears and a gentle disposition."[1] The article also claimed that Cheburashka has become politically charged in post-Soviet Russia.[1]
