Shapoklyak

Old lady Shapoklyak (Russian: Шапокляк) is a villain from stories about Cheburashka written by Russian writer Eduard Uspensky.

Her first visual appearance was in the animated film Gena the Crocodile (1969) by Roman Kachanov of Soyuzmultfilm studio.

Her name is the word for the hat she wears, borrowed from the French chapeau claque, an obsolete spring-loaded top hat, which sounds funny to the Russian ear.

She is notorious for her mischiefs and pranks on the city dwellers.

The refrain of her theme song contains her motto, "One won't ever get famous for good deeds" Russian: Хорошими делами прославиться нельзя.
