Puppets (TV series)

Puppets (Russian: Куклы, romanized: Kukly, lit. 'Dolls') was a weekly Russian TV show of political satire, produced by Vasily Grigoryev and shown on Saturdays on the TV channel NTV from 1994 until 2002. It used puppets to represent celebrities, mainly the major politicians. It was inspired by the French show Les Guignols de l'info.

The show was widely viewed in Russia and has inspired spinoffs in other countries. President Vladimir Putin was frequently represented in the show.
