Created by Eus, Niffiwan, Bornik₂
Pavliniy hvost.1946.en.1.25fps.1691734550.srt ⭳
Quality: ok

Subs originally made by Eus in 2016, with timings from the Russian subs by Bornik. Translation and timings revised by Niffiwan in 2023 to be more accurate. The dialogue and songs all rhyme in the original, but it was not possible to translate the rhymes; instead, they are translated more-or-less literally, while trying to keep them to a similar number of syllables where possible.

The bear's name/nickname "Toptygin" is translated to its approximate English equivalent, "stomper".
