-==Overview==
-''Potets'' is often called a Soviet cartoon, because it was not only clearly conceived and began to be made at the end of the Soviet era, but also inherited the era of perestroika, when it, at the turning point of the epochs, probably only could be conceived at the level of an idea and financially implemented. But the cartoon was finished and appeared on television in a radically different context-after the final collapse of the USSR in another country (Russia), in the conditions of a deep economic downturn, social crisis and moral relativism.
