Mr. Freeman is a Russian animated web series named after its main character. The series appeared on YouTube on September 21, 2009 and got considerable popularity in Runet. The main content of the series is monologues which, in a harsh manner, criticize the lifestyle of the modern everyman. As of August 2026, there are 36 episodes published, with a total of 42 uploads to the channel. The total number of views is more than 76 million.
The first five episodes were dubbed by the Russian actor Vadim Demchog. On November 14, 2010, Demchog officially announced his immediate relation to the project. After that, production of new episodes temporarily ceased, but on January 11, 2011 a new video was released. Vadim Demchog resumed dubbing the series with the episode "Me?"
It is known that the animator Pavel Muntyan worked on the first series.
General synopsis and subject The animated series contains many symbols and hints. For example, Freeman may appear as a shape containing the stereotypical traits of some specific individuals or social groups (for example, while saying "I've placed everything under my will", Freeman is standing on a pedestal in a cap-cornered hat, holding his hand at the chest level). There are also hidden frames in the series, which contain elements of a larger image. In addition, there are details, insignificant at first glance, such as numbers 21.12.12 into which the ECG transforms in the first episode, which are the estimated date of completion of the current era according to the Maya calendar. These and many other details nourish many versions about the identity of Freeman and his goals.
