Is this real? (hexbear.net)

Honestly seems too good to be true. Google didn’t really turn anything up and I don’t speak Russian, despite what internet liberals tell me.

The logo in the bottom right might be a clue.

I think the star is also in the wrong place.

Real, yes. Authentically Soviet, no. I tried finding info on the designer, but didn't find much, but the logo on the bottom seems to be his initials.

Yeah there's no Iron Giant esque Soviet films. Been seeing this and other renditions of it on the web since 15 years ago.

I just want to go back in time and make the Soviets create a bunch of children's shows/films. Thomas the Train Engine, Teletubbies, GI Joe, Pokemon, all of it. Cars 2 but one of them is a T-34 who just got back from slaughtering fascists in Berlin.
