The creator of “Masyanya” Oleg Kuvaev received from Roskomnadzor a “notice of restricted access” to the mult.ru website with all episodes of the cartoon; the last episode was about the war with Ukraine. about this Kuvaev wrote on Facebook.
“A notification is being sent about restricting access to the information resource https://mult.ru/ in information and telecommunication networks, including the Internet, based on the requirements of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation blah blah blah <…> In short, mult .ru is now banned in Russia. Although I, and the viewers, use the site extremely rarely, everything is mostly on YouTube, but just in case I made a mirror,” Kuvaev wrote.
The last episode of “Masyanya” was dedicated to the invasion of Ukraine. Masyanya and Hrundel discuss the latest news and try to hide from their friend Shaggy, an ethnic Ukrainian, the fact that Russia has started the war. At the end of the episode, Masyanya comes to President Vladimir Putin and leaves him a Japanese sword for suicide.
Corrected on March 28 at 20:34. Roskomnadzor reported that they did not block the site, but only sent a notice demanding the removal of the last episode of the animated series. In this regard, the news title has been changed.
