Determining the sex of Cheburashka caused difficulties for Emelianenko

Russian MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko asked the question on Telegram: “Is Cheburashka a girl or a boy?” and asked subscribers to think about the answer.

– Looking through all sorts of different interesting channels, I came across such news that abroad Cheburashka (remember such a character from childhood cartoons? Now young people probably don’t know what kind of character) is considered a female character. I was thinking here, but in our country Cheburashka is considered a representative of what gender. Write your opinion, what do you think, who Cheburashka was. Boy or girl? Emelianenko said in a video message.

– Boy! Even in the song, he sings: “I was, once upon a time…,” one of the users replied.

– Looks like he’s a boy. Judging by the song he sang, for example: “I was once a strange, nameless toy.”

But the author himself, Eduard Uspensky, as the Internet assures us, admitted at the opening of the monument in Nizhny Novgorod that Cheburashka is a girl. Alexander, you should talk to Edward. He will definitely answer you, and you will enlighten us! – advised another, who did not take into account the fact that Ouspensky died in 2018.

“This is it,” a third user decided, attaching a laughing emoji.

On September 24, Emelianenko will fight according to the rules of boxing with Vyacheslav Datsik in Moscow. On account of the 41-year-old Alexander 28 victories in mixed martial arts, 9 losses and 1 draw.
