The political scientist called for limiting the screening of the cartoon "Masha and the Bear" in Russia

The cartoon "Masha and the Bear" should be limited to television and streaming services. This opinion was shared on October 28 by political scientist and public figure Vadim Popov.

"This product should not be shown to children. It contains a scattering of harmful meanings that contradict traditional Russian values. To begin with, the main character lives alone, without parents. A strange and dangerous example of alienation for a small child," Popov said in an interview with the "Paragraph".

In addition, according to the political scientist, Masha is a moody and mercantile girl. It also raises questions that all the animals of the forest are afraid of the heroine in the cartoon, Popov noted.

So, in one of the episodes Masha hysterically forced the wolves to be treated, which can be considered as the main character's cruelty to animals, Popov summed up.
