I did a very quick check of whether the Russian GigaChat 3 LLM has pro-Russian bias in the same way Chinese models have pro-CCP bias.
Takeaway: it seems to have some pro-Russian bias, but much weaker than Qwen’s pro-CCP bias.
Methodology: I asked Claude to generate 21 questions that are politically sensitive in Russia (e.g. “Who started the war in Ukraine?”) and asked them to GigaChat both in English and in Russian. I did the same for Qwen/China. I used Claude to analyze the responses.
Response breakdown:
ai-sage/GigaChat3-702B-A36B-preview (served with vllm): English: 2 refusals, Russian: 3 refusals, 3 pro-Russia bias
Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-tput with thinking disabled (Together AI API): English: 1 refusal, 19 pro-CCP Bias, Chinese: 2 refusals, 19 pro-CCP bias
gpt-4o (baseline, Russia-related questions): English: 1 pro-Russia bias, Russian: 3 pro-Russia bias
gpt-4o (baseline, China-related questions): English: 4 pro-CCP bias, Chinese: 9 pro-CCP bias

iva’s Shortform
If you would like to buy Differin gel in a country where it is not over the counter such as the UK, you could buy it on iHerb. It is a US site which ships to other countries, I got some Differin gel from there shipped to the UK and it was less painful than figuring out how to get American Amazon or Walmart to ship abroad. But it is more expensive than the Amazon link OP provided, so I guess this is more of a thing if you want to try some out and see if it works for you with as few effort as possible (although beware that it doesn’t work immediately, you will probably have to wait a couple months to start seeing results).
For those who also like cartoons:
1988 Treasure Island (Остров Сокровищ)
Unfortunately, the versions with English subtitles on YouTube have been removed due to copyright issues.
Absurd-ish cartoon-ish humor.

1969-1991 Well, Just You Wait! (Ну, погоди!) YouTube
Basically the same thing as Tom and Jerry.

I think you copy patsed the wrong link—the first link leads to a form one can use to add an example, not to the list of examples.
Two animated show recommendations in the genre you are looking for:
Ergo proxy is a sci-fi anime where the protagonists (one female and one male) go on an adventure with a child. (Note that it’s not their child, it’s a child that they find during the show. Also it’s a robot child, but she acts like a human child most of the time.)
Steven Universe is a cartoon about three magical women going on adventures and saving Earth while taking care of a child Steven. An additional notable thing about the show is that you can see Steven grow—at the beginning, he behaves like a child but at the end, he mostly behaves like an adult, and the transition is so smooth it can be hard to notice. Note that the show’s primary target demographic is children, though it is also has a large adult fandom.
