Чебурашка

This little monkey character (about three inches by two inches at the arms/ears) is called Чебурашка (Chyeburashka). He is actually a popular cartoon character from Россия/СССР (Russia/USSR) originating during the Совет (Soviet) era. This was given to me by a German exchange student in our school named Millie. She was born in Russia and lived there for one year when her family moved to Germany. While she has been in America, which she doesn't much like, her sister went on a small visit to Russia and bough two Chyburashka keychains and sent them to her. I was chatting with Millie one day and I asked her if she knew what Cheyburashka was and she thought for a second, got very excited, and said she'd bring me one the next day. I was very happy since I thought I would need to travel to Russia myself to claim one, but, here it is.
