Ah yes, 'Masha and Bear'.  One of the few kids shows which doesn't peddle pure degeneracy, idiocy, fagotry, etc.  A lot of the crap comes from Ukraine, but in fairness I have to give a nod to 'Dave and Ava' which is out of Ukraine and is pretty OK, and point out that the worst is from China although I suspect it is pumped out for Western consumers only.  UkuLele is another good show and it happens to be Russian well.  I gotta pay some attention to this stuff on account of being a parent and all.

When I was figuring out where should be my '2nd option' for expatriation reasons I didn't even consider Russia.  To a degree I'm sure that it was a result of a lifetime of tension between my country Russia and the consequent propaganda, but also I was working under the a conception of the society as a late Soviet and early post-Soviet conception of the society.  Honestly, the kids shows more than anything have given me the idea that there may be sprouts of a relatively promising future society in that nation.  I still consider it to be as 'deep state-ee' and politically corrupt as the U.S., and to have it's share of dangerous and unpleasant people, but as a trend things are looking positive from what I can see.  The whole West is on a steep negative trajectory.  I've been researching a '3rd option' off and on while we see the 'great reset' progress, and Russia is on my list now.
