You would usually expect to find an innocent set of monkey bars, a slide and a swing when taking your children to the local playground: not haunting sculptures of menacing monsters. But not in Russia, though…

I can tell you, those used to be just regular, sweet and lovable playgrounds.
And then… Chernobyl, you know…

Is this real? I don’t think it’s real. Looks like an art project or something to me.

The crocodile and the monkey with the big ears are from a popular children’s program from the 1970’s. We used to get it in Sweden when I was a kid.

The animation with the croc and his sidekick is called Cheburashka I Krokodil Gena. Great stuff! It also spawned a series of smutty jokes – just as great!

The one with the graffiti “Everyone lies” I used to use as a child, seemed giant and great to slide on it back then, 30+ years ago. It is located in Donetsk city, Ukraine.

IT IS A PHOTOBOOK WORTH…..
In other small cities (not only in Chornobyl) it was (or maybe still is) just a normal thing :D seriously. My town has those too.
Thanks ! @The teacher
Love the slide in the Cemetery. Said no one ever
1
Be swell if the slide lead to an open grave,a sort of social comment.
The graffiti on the Pinocchio slide says EVERYBODY LIES
2
the graffiti says “everything is going to the mouth”
Horrifying
This is Pripyat after the Chernobyl event.

The swings next to the melted slide one are not in Russia. Looks more like the US to me (look at the houses). And the last picture (cemetary) is also not in Russia. Wrong kinds of graves. I would say somewhere in Western Europe.

Some of them are characters from Russian cartoons, so to Russian children they are not scary…

That monkey-looking thing depicted standing nest to the alligator is “Cheburashka” (translates to something like “falls down” or “tumbles.” Iconic Russian cartoon.) The alligator’s name is “Gena.”

Pootin, “everybody lies”
It’s like the Russian lullaby “Tili Tili Bom” – rather than being reassuring it threatens that a monster is coming if the child doesn’t go to sleep now
Most of these are cute
Pootin “I want to know what the graffiti says…..”
3rd picture on the children’s slide it says “everyone lies” :)))

The Beatles movie Yellow Submarine?
This is where the animators got their ideas.
Parent ‘now listen here Masha, any more bad behaviour from you today and you’ll be going to the playground!”
Masha: ” noooo, I’m sorry mother, please don’t make me!!!”

Hard to think that these aren’t meant to be creepy! theyre supposed to be book/cartoon characters or animals!
