Misha ❤ This guy was also a plushie and made into other toys and a porcelain figure, was going to buy one for my kid for Christmas. You can still find these in the second hand market here.

Isn't this a mascot from the soviet union? I want to say I've seen it before.

I think it might be Soviet Winnie The Pooh

It's actually Misha, the 1980 Moscow olympics mascot

TIL, didn't know they had their own version.

It's kind of odd the bear is smiling, when it's a cultural thing for them to not smile in pictures themselves.
