Unfortunately, those cartoons, on which more than one generation of Russians grew up, did not go through modern censorship and were blacklisted on TV. At the moment, ten well-known Soviet animated films have already been included in it.
Some cartoons were completely removed from the daytime air, in some they cut out certain scenes, but the result is the same - in each work the censors found something that even the Soviet Ministry of Culture did not jar in its time.
The Law "On Protection of Children from Information Harmful to Health and Development" entered into force on September 1, 2012.
Whom and for what
"Well, wait!" - one of the most famous Soviet cartoons about the irreconcilable enmity between the Wolf and the Hare, was banned for "promoting hooliganism, unhealthy lifestyles, and animal abuse."
"Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena" - no, this is not a story about friendship and kindness, but, as it turned out, the same propaganda of smoking and abuse of animals.
"Winnie the Pooh and all, all all" - dear Winnie was caught in gluttony, and his friends - in immoral behavior.
"Carlson who lives on the roof" - again, gluttony, smoking, as well as immoral behavior and, as the cherry on this censored cake, "child corruption".
"Three from Prostokvashino" - banned for promoting vagrancy, smoking and illegal possession of property. Apparently, the documents of the cat Matroskin in the form of "mustache, paws and tail" were not enough to pass the age limit.
Also, for similar reasons, this list includes such well-known and beloved cartoons as "The Hedgehog in the Fog", "The Bremen Town Musicians", "Once upon a Time Dog", "The Adventures of Funtik the Pig" and "Monkeys".
Imposed restrictions
In accordance with the adopted Law, all these Soviet cartoons cannot be broadcast on TV channels until 23:00 local time. If, as an exception, something gets on the air, then the video must be accompanied by a mention of access restriction.
In accordance with the Law, all content must have a special age label “0+”, “6+”, “12+”, “16+”, “18+”.
Where to look?
It's worth noting that censorship restrictions do not apply to cable TV and pay-per-view channels. If you have a digital TV package connected at home, you can independently adjust children's access to certain channels using special settings.
And, of course, all your favorite cartoons are available for viewing and downloading on the Internet 24 hours a day. Although it is possible that with the tightening of the piracy law, as well as the aforementioned "child" law, this method will also become irrelevant.
