...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.
Never underestimate the weirdness of Slavic mythology.

It's a Ukrainian folk tale "Muscovite in Hell" 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.
Jace Hill
Why don't people in Ukraine like people from Moscow?
David Turner
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.
Christopher Martinez
the past tense of pow
Kayden Jenkins
"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.
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.

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.

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.
