The characters of the Russian version of Sesame Street are Kubik, Businka, Zeliboba, the janitor's aunt Dasha, the girl Katya and her parents.
Cube. This is a funny monster of bright orange color. He has dark red hair on his head. Its distinguishing feature is the ability to invent something. Moreover, inventions are both completely unusual and strange, and everyone is familiar (for example, a bicycle). It is curious that the Cube is capable of persistently reflecting on even the most trivial problem. It is worth recalling that his favorite words are: "If you think about it …".
Bead. This is also a funny monster, only a girl. She is dyed bright crimson and has a great variety of braids. The bead is still that fashionista. She just loves to dress up in certain outfits. Bead has a special passion for bows. Also, this character loves to listen to some music and eat carrots.
Zeliboba. Outwardly, this character resembles a huge shaggy dog walking on its hind legs. He has a robe-like blue and thick coat, a multi-colored tie hanging around his neck, and oversized white sneakers on his feet. Zeliboba lives in a giant oak tree located near the children's playground.
In general, the creators of Sesame Street claim that Zeliboba is a courtyard spirit. He is the patron saint of the residential area featured in the TV show. The creators endowed this character with exceptional kindness, gullibility and curiosity. Zeliboba has a phenomenal scent: he smells not only different smells, but also the weather, music and even someone's mood.
Zeliboba just loves to play pranks on her friends - Cubic and Businka. For example, he may pretend to be a foreign tourist. Initially, the color of Zeliboba's "wool" was supposed to be brown, but Russian developers opposed this, citing blue as being more associated with perfume.
The company of these three funny characters is made up of people - aunt Dasha, who works as a janitor in the local courtyard, the girl Katya and her parents - mother Nina and father Sasha. In addition, the international version of Sesame Street assumes the presence of minor characters who were included in the Russian version of the TV show as sidebars. These characters include funny friends Vlas and Yenik, an interviewer frog named Kermit, Big Bird, monsters Korzhik, Elmo, Oscar, Znak.
