Nu, pogodi! (You Just Wait!) is a series of Russian animated shorts directed by Vyacheslav Kotyonochkin, produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow, between 1969 and 1986. The plot is the similar to the world-famous cartoons Tom & Jerry or Road Runner: the Wolf (Volk), a hooligan and a smoker, tries to catch the Hare (Zayats), very positive and kind hero, with the intention to eat him. Every episode
shows various aspects of life. For example, episode in a museum, in a city, in the fairground at night, etc. As for music, there were used only modern musical hits of that time. These series have become the favorite Soviet cartoon among several generations of Russians families till our days. Any additional information can be found here, and the whole series are below.
