dc.description.abstract	Cheburshka first appeared in Eduard Uspensky’s children’s books in 1965. Just a few years later, the character and his friends made it to the big screen under the direction of Roman Kacharov and Leonid Shvartsman working for Soyuzmultfilm studio, in four animated stop-motion films Gena the Crocodile (1969), Cheburashka (1971), Shapoklyak (1974) and Cheburashka goes to school (1983). However, they did not remain simply a part of the Soviet past. As a staple of Russian cartoons, there have even been licensed products on the market, such as children's books and toys. Despite being so widely recognised, there appears to be more to Cheburashka and his friends’ stories in terms of political ideologies aimed at the socialisation of children and a critique of the Soviet regime.	en_US
