- ... that the title of the animated film Losharik comes from a portmanteau of the Russian words for "horse" and "small ball"? Source: MacFadyen, David (2005). Yellow Crocodiles and Blue Oranges: Russian Animated Film Since World War II. McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. p. 45. ISBN 9780773528710.
- ALT1:... that the name of the title character of the animated film Losharik, a circus animal made out of juggling balls, became the nickname of a Russian submarine constructed from inter-connected spheres? Source: "The sub was nicknamed in honour of an animated toy horse of the same name made from multi-coloured bubble-like orbs. While very little is known about the Losharik's design, military experts believe the sub contains seven bubble shaped compartments. "The use of these spherical fragments in the design create conditions so that the ship can safely dive deeply. This is the origin of the nickname." ([1]
- ALT2:... that while working on the animated film Losharik, featuring an animal made out of juggling balls, art director Tamara Poletika and animator Yuri Norstein (pictured) attended circus rehearsals? Source: "Starting this work, I even went to the circus, attended rehearsals. At the studio I said: "It's so interesting there guys! Come on, everyone!" No one went except Yuri Norstein." ([2])

This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT0 and ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. I find ALT2 less interesting. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:11, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
