Criticism

In 2012, the image of journalist Mustafa Nayem , conducting journalistic investigations in the form of a fox terrier, increased the rating of the 1 + 1 television channel and caused an ambiguous reaction of the media ^[11] , despite attempts by Vladimir Zelensky to justify himself ^[3] .

Since the premiere of the animated series in the media, there has been repeated criticism of its creators. Some publications note that while jokes addressed to the tsar and representatives of the PR resemble “stupid arrows” or kind home humor, all other heroes are severely ridiculed. So, in the animated series, Victor II (the tough king in a “training coat” - a tracksuit) appears as a good-natured ruler who wants only order. His chancellor gets only for the manner of speaking in an exclusive language ^[12] .
