The Walt Disney Company CIS, LLC (also known as Disney Russia) is a Russian subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, engaged in the production of films, television content, and also acts as a distribution through Walt Disney Studios.

The Walt Disney Company CIS was incorporated in 2005[1][2][3][4] and opened in 2006.[5] The company is engaged in licensing of consumer goods in Russia, the CIS countries, Georgia and Mongolia.
