...and other illustrations of fairytales from the former Russian colony Ukraine.
Just FYI I have no idea what the stories behind any of these is, I just found these in my local library and found them rad. Plus we recently had somebody post Russian ANCIENT AYLUMS-fantasy illustrations.

It's a Ukrainian folk tale "Muscovite in Hell"
http://kazka.co.ua/?p=695
Basically, a Muscovite visits Hell, annoys the devils, eats up all the souls and has to be tricked to leave.
>>51632059
Why don't people in Ukraine like people from Moscow?
>>51632138
You mean recently or historically? Nah, trick question 'cause the answer's the same either way. Moscow's treatment of the Ukraine has always been basically like pic related.
>>51630026
the past tense of pow
>>51632138
"Muscovite" is used as an ethnic slur for Russians. The reason for that is probably that Moscow used to be a shitty hamlet before the Mongol invasion, while Kiev is an ancient city.
>>51632344
Russia only started treating Ukraine like shit in the XIXth century, and this is the person responsible. And Moscow wasn't the capital, so your comment makes even less sense.
>>51629968
I wonder what is coming out of that vat.
:bump:
>>51629820
Isn't that from the Last Unicorn?
Because hohol is a complicated ,yet primitive creature.
To draw an analogy,they are like ausis,only instead of being unquestionably loyal,they're unquestionably hateful towards their creators.
>>51632138
It's complicated.
On one hand, we WERE dicks to them in pre-soviet - soviet times.
On the other hand, they have a long and glorious history of pic related.
