Media (outside of Russia)
Due to the presence of a large Slavic-American and Russian-American community, more children’s shows include Slavic characters, to give these audiences characters to look up to. For example, Sesame Street has a Russian-American female muppet known as Yeva (introduced around the same time as Rosita). For an example from a show for older children, The Loud House has Irinushka Egorova, portrayed as Clyde’s love interest.

Like how Spanish networks such as Univision and Telemundo exist (both in this timeline and in OTL), there are three major Russian-language networks in TTL’s United States: Mirvidinye, Soyuz, and Telezapad. These are mainly concentrated around the Pacific Northwest.

As Canada has a Russian-speaking population, there are also Canadian Russian networks, but most are mainly available in the Russian-speaking provinces (like how French networks are mainly available in Quebec). There is the state-owned КРТ network, which uses much of the same branding as CBC and Radio-Canada, as well as two private Russian-language networks: the Tsentral network, with a legacy dating back to the same period as CTV and TVA, and the upstart Telekspo, which was started in 1995 and is heavily linked to the RFR-based ViD network.
