Let it play through, then, click on “full episode”… yes, Masha and the Bear, IN ENGLISH! URA!
Hey, Orthodox priests out there! This is a WONDERFUL resource for parents with small kids. Get the link for the trailer out. Your people deserve to know this… Masha and the Bear come to you from the Orthosphere, illustrating that our Orthodox Culture is so much more than just religion.

One, Two, Three! Up with the Tree!
Here’s one of my fave Sov multifilms… The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats. Good things from the Evil Empire! You don’t need to know Russian to love this one…
Have a most lovely holiday season… no matter which one you celebrate. Ura! It’s time for ALL of us to join hands… let’s have a world where we can all respect one another and live together in peace, despite obvious differences. Fie on all those who want to “convert” their neighbour… that’s where most mischief in society comes in. Let’s treat others as we’d like others to treat us… we can do it…

A sweet little Russian cartoon (it has minimal dialogue, so, don’t worry), with the title One, Two, Three… Up with the Tree! It also has a sweet way of delivering its moral… one shouldn’t be selfish.
It’s time to start getting ready for Christmas and New Year‘s. You DO want Dede and Snegurochka to come to your house, don’t you?

These poseurs are serious, and they presume to speak for REAL Orthodox Christians. These Anglican imposters should never have been ordained… received, yes… ordained, NEVER. Why? They never put on “the mind of the Church”. They actually take this “Culture War” crapola seriously and want to ram it down our throats labelled as the TEACHING OF THE CHURCH.
EXCUSE ME! If I’ve a choice between this crackbrained BS and Tikhon Shevkunov’s Unholy Holiness, I know where I stand… and I don’t stand alone.
To clear your mind after watching the above mind-corrosive dreck, do watch something positive and life-affirming, like the Masha and Medved vid posted below… this episode’s based on the famous fairy tale The Golden Fish, and it has a SWEET ending… it has minimal dialogue, so, any lack of Russian skills won’t hinder your enjoyment of this:
