Als westdeutscher Junge waren ausgerechnet Serien aus dem Ostblock das Größte für mich. Da war immer was los: Zauberringe, ein fliegender Ferdinand, ein böser Friseur, Rumburak und immer derselbe Schauspieler als verdutzter Vater. Mehr Action können sich kleine Kinder gar nicht wünschen. Die Tschechen, die all diese Serien produziert haben, wissen heute oft gar nicht, wie populär diese Serien im Westen waren und wie sehr diese zum positiven Image der Tschechen bei Millionen Deutschen beigetragen haben.

The overly sensitive Russian dictator continues to murder his critics globally. Russian artist Semyon Skrepetsky, known for his sharp criticism of the Kremlin was reportedly shot dead in the Polish city of Biała Podlaska. According to Polish media reports, the attacker approached Skrepetsky in the parking area of a residential building and opened fire at close range. A suspect has reportedly been detained near the Belarusian Embassy, while investigators are also examining the possible involvement of a taxi driver who allegedly transported the attackers. Authorities have increased security around schools and kindergartens attended by his children. Reports also indicate that Skrepetsky's Telegram channel has disappeared. Born in Russia's Altai region as Robert Kuzovkov, Skrepetsky became widely known for political cartoons depicting Putin, Kadyrov, Lukashenko and Navalny. After relocating to Poland in 2021, he remained active in anti-Kremlin demonstrations across Europe.
