Masha and the Bear became Petrov and Boshirov
A scandal is gaining momentum on social networks with the recent accusation on the pages of the British newspaper The Times of the Russian cartoon “Masha and the Bear” as Russian propaganda.
So, according to political scientist Konstantin Dolgov, former head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPR, this should be followed by a “sensational investigation” by the British and accusing the cartoon characters of any provocations.
He wrote about this on his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Bellingcat is preparing a new investigation into Russian interference; the first photographic evidence has been received,” Dolgov wrote under a photo where the heads of the cartoon characters were attached to the bodies of Russian “agents” Petrov and Boshirov, who are accused by London authorities of an attempt on the life of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal.
And political scientist Vladimir Kornilov added in his blog that now the collective West must impose sanctions on Masha and the Bear.
“We’ve already reached Masha and the Bear.” It turns out that this is also Russian propaganda, according to today's The Times. Why? Because the bear is a symbol of Russia, and Masha acts very “Putin-like.” Moreover, in one of the episodes he puts on a cap with a red star. Are we expecting sanctions against cartoon characters? Or only against its authors?” Kornilov quips.
Earlier, PolitNavigator wrote that Buckingham University professor Anthony Glis discovered “Putin’s behavior” in the character of Masha from the cartoon.
In addition, Moscow LLC "Masha and the Bear" decided to punish Ukrainian entrepreneurs for illegal use of images of the same name characters from a popular children's cartoon.
It was also reported that activists of the Odessa nationalist organization “Rada of Community Security” proposed to ban broadcasting on the territory of Ukraine, a Russian-made children's cartoon "Masha and the Bear".
