The film house that produced the series explained that the initiative is considered a "soft power" tool to promote Russia and its culture abroad.
Russian streaming platform Okko has today released a special New Year's episode of the popular children's cartoon series "Prostokvashino," featuring an animated portrayal of President Vladimir Putin.
In the episode, the characters travel to Moscow's Red Square to celebrate the New Year, writes "The Moscow Times".
Matroskin the cat and Sharik the dog debate whether the president pre-records his annual holiday speech or delivers it live.
In Red Square, the characters meet with Putin, and Sharik asks him to join in congratulating the Russians on the New Year.
The animated Putin is voiced by actor Dmitry Grachev, known for his parody of the Russian leader on the show Comedy Club.
Putin's appearance in the cartoon was announced earlier this year by Yuliana Slashcheva, head of the Soyuzmultfilm animation studio, which produces "Prostokvashino."
Slashcheva said the series could help strengthen Russia's "soft power" abroad.
Released in 2018, “Prostokvashino” is a sequel to the popular Soviet-era animated film, based on Eduard Uspensky’s 1970s children’s stories.
The series takes place in the fictional village of Prostokvashino, which translates as "sour milk" from Russian.
