It's not Third World, but Russian MTV shows Soviet cartoons.

BTW, the Tiger Lillies cut an album with Russian band Leningrad when the former where in Petersburg. Maybe I''ll send you some stuff. It's the Tiger Lillies doing covers of Leningrad songs translated into English and Leningrad doing Tiget Lillies songs translated into Russian. It's truly awesome-sounding, a weird medley of the TL's cabaret and Leningrad's ska-punk. Both bands sing about similar topics -- drugs, dying drunks, hookers, murderers -- so it works well. ;)
