A Russian cartoon TV channel, 2x2, is still broadcasting all the series that Russian prosecutors had criticised for promoting violence and cruelty, including The Simpsons and South Park.
The channel took off air some particular scenes, which were criticised by the Russian media watchdog.

The case sparked mass demonstrations with hundreds of young people showing their support for the channel.
