State Media: Parovoz and Service Netflix

state media: Russian authorities have invested heavily in the animation sector in recent years, after it, like others, was left in ruins following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, according to The Japan Times. Parovoz is part of a state media holding and has grown from around 20 to 300 employees. With its Netflix contracts, state-owned Parovoz which means locomotive in Russian is at the forefront of a resurgence of the country's animation industry. ; But, for some observers, the revival comes at the expense of a tradition for innovation dating back to the Soviet-era heyday. Its animated series are shown in 55 countries. Last year, two Parovoz productions were bought by the U.S.-based streaming service Netflix one of them, Leo and Tig, is about the adventures of a tiger and leopard in Siberia. Chief executive Anton Smetankin, who co-launched the studio in 2014, said it had a product for every market. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
