Some episode guides for some Ulitsa Sezam episodes I found on YouTube. Considering I don't speak Russian, I don't really have any descriptions for what's happening in street scenes or locally-made segments, so some of these are just my best assumptions (any more accurate translations would be most appreciated!). I also don't have any production info, so I don't know when these episodes were made or in what order they aired (again, any info would be great!)
