What is little bear in Russian?

The most common translation for "little bear" in Russian would be "маленький медведь" (malen'kiy medved'). Here's a breakdown:

* маленький (malen'kiy) means "little" or "small"

* медведь (medved') means "bear"

You could also use "медвежонок" (medvezhonok), which literally means "little bear" and is a more specific and endearing term.

The choice between the two depends on the context and the desired level of formality.
