Masyanya
Season 8
Masyanya is an ordinary girl — not particularly gifted with talent or beauty — living the same everyday life as the rest of us, wherever in the world we may be… She drinks beer, hangs out in sketchy places, meets up with friends, and does her best to squeeze as much enjoyment out of life as possible… The one thing that sets her apart is her unshakeable couldn't-care-less attitude and her sheer love of life…

- How to explain to your kids
E161How to explain to your kidsChildren can see perfectly well that something terrible is happening in the world. With their country and with the neighboring one. How to talk to them about it without causing trauma. It is they, the children, who will live with the consequences of this horror. Not sure Masyanya did it well, but she tried. - Live and let live
E163Live and let liveReality at this point is so absurd that one needn't bother making the plot even remotely realistic. On the contrary — the more absurd, the closer it gets to reality. And humor will survive — it doesn't care about realism and it is the opposite of aggression. So the more laughs there are — the sooner Evil will go away. - Masyana 2050
E165Masyana 2050Since the normal future has been killed, one has to invent it. What will happen to everyone in 2050? Nobody dares to predict. And this is also NOT a prediction. This is a free artistic fantasy as one of the possible scenarios. And claims to be nothing more. The main character in this cartoon is not the heroes, oddly enough, but the circumstances. A little artistic trick. If someone thinks: "This is a pretty controversial cartoon" — the answer is: Well, duh! It is controversial! I make controversial cartoons, in case you didn't know... It's the job. Welcome to the "sporno". :))) If you don't understand anything — turn on the subtitles. - The Curious Case of Plavunets
E166The Curious Case of PlavunetsWith the words 'Director's Cut' I'm sort of warning you that the episode is long. Though all my cartoons are director's cuts. There can't be any other version, because I do everything alone. I can't even make an electrician's cut — I fix everything myself. :) So pick a time to watch the whole thing calmly in one sitting. This isn't some TikTok clip to scroll past — this is about a genuinely serious metaphysical paradox. We all want there to have been no Hitler or Stalin in the past, but would we ourselves exist then?.. - Watch
E167WatchSo here's the thing — introducing the concept of 'parallel reality' into the series allows one to somewhat justify the existence of peaceful storylines in our nightmarish times. This is also a slight continuation of the "Plavunets" episode... but that will only become clear at the very end. - Golden Letter
E168Golden LetterI'm already afraid to make dystopian videos because too often they become reality. Honestly I exaggerate to get a laugh, but dictators do all of this in earnest with real people. But what choice do I have? The principle of my cartoons is absurdity built on elements of reality. And if the elements of reality are dark — then the humor will be dark too. - Idoliada
E169IdoliadaThere are all kinds of perverted forms of human oppression. And nobody believes it will happen in their lifetime, in their city, in their country. Such forms of dictatorship and violence never end well... if taken to their logical conclusion... I apologize in advance to all the Antons.. :) - The Midnight Breadwinner
E170The Midnight BreadwinnerReality at this point is so absurd that one needn't bother making the plot even remotely realistic. On the contrary — the more absurd, the closer it gets to reality. And humor will survive — it doesn't care about realism and it is the opposite of aggression. So the more laughs there are — the sooner Evil will go away. - I Didn't Sign Up For This
E171I Didn't Sign Up For ThisA somewhat heavy cartoon. In every sense. You can't call it light. About the struggle against evil. About tragedies. About war. About survival. About despair. About flight. About.. today. But as always with Masyanya's irony and sarcasm. For those who have trouble following Masyanya's rapid-fire chatter there are subtitles (Russian and English).
