Carousel or Carousel International, also known by its transliterated Russian name Карусель, is a Russian television dedicated to children and youth. It was founded by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. It is currently available in Russia, CIS nations, France via Free ISP, United States via DirecTV, Turkey via Tivibu, and others, including the rest of Europe, Canada, UK and India.
Since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Carousel International airs only Russian cartoons and some cartoons outside Russia, which is what other channels in Russia are doing as well except 2x2.
