Digital illustration of a Nu, pogodi! × Leopold the Cat crossover. In the center, Leopold the Cat, an orange anthropomorphic cat with a large purple bow tie and yellow shirt, smiles warmly with his eyes closed while wrapping his arms around the Wolf and the Hare. On the left, the Wolf is tall and lanky with messy black hair, wearing a pink shirt and dark pants, with a cigarette in his mouth and looking grumpy but not resisting the hug. On the right, the Hare is smaller and white-furred, wearing a green shirt and white scarf, looking up at Leopold with a gentle, trusting expression. The three characters stand close together against a soft purple gradient background. At the top, in Russian text, it reads: "Ребята, давайте жить дружно" (“Guys, let’s live in peace”).

A crossover between two Soviet cartoons from Soyuzmultfilm:

🐺 Волк (Volk, Wolf) and 🐰 Заяц (Zayats, Hare) from Nu, pogodi! (1969), created by Vyacheslav Kotenochkin

🐱 Кот Леопольд (Kot Leopold, Leopold the Cat) from Leopold the Cat (1975), created by Anatoly Reznikov

Volk (left) and Zayats (right) from Nu Pogodi! are sitting at a table. In between them is a dreidel lying gimel-side up. Zayats is smiling and throwing up his arms in victory. On his left is a massive pile of Hanukkah gelt (chocolate coins). Volk is resting his head in his right hand and grimacing at Zayats. His left arm is resting on the table, with the thumb and forefinger sticking out in repressed frustration. Above Volk's head is a little black squiggle, indicating his frustration.

I'm not sure why, but I still headcanon these two as being Jewish.

Volk, a grey wolf with a head of black hair, wearing a green beanie cap, a bright pink shirt, a bright yellow tie and black pants, stands leaning back on his right leg and the ball of his left foot. His right arm is extended, palm out, while his left one is behind his back. He's facing away from the viewer, but his eyes are turned towards them while he grins, innocently.

Just a doodle I did in Notes cleaned up in Procreate. Technology is amazing!
