The “Masyanya” series, in which China attacks Russia, was temporarily removed from YouTube

The series "Masyanya" "St. Mariuburg" was removed from YouTube after a complaint about copyright infringement, said the creator of the animated series Oleg Kuvaev.

According to the cartoonist, a certain "Sobolev" complained that the image of St. Isaac's Cathedral in the episode was allegedly "copied from his personal photograph."

There is just a frontal view of Isakia, anyone who photographed him can complain like that. That is, the claim is highly dubious. Although pictures from the Internet, of course, were used, but how else to draw? By memory?

<...> How can you delete a cartoon for such an insignificant reason?

Update 15:26. Oleg Kuvaev informed that the cartoon became available again . “Thank you so much everyone for the uproar! That's why it's so fast," he wrote.

• The St. Mariupol series, whose title refers to the Ukrainian Mariupol destroyed during the Russian invasion, was released on July 11. According to the plot, China invades Russia under the pretext of "cleansing it from the Nazis" and begins to bomb Russian cities, including St. Petersburg. The heroes of the series - Masyanya, Khryundel and their children - are trying in vain to leave the city.
