Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
I always knew Russia was a "unique" place, but this is just freaky. I am at a complete loss for words to describe what the designers of those things were thinking...

Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
C'thulu and skeletons are really cool. And wasps and Aligator, creative. Playgrounds aren't about bright colors and all, people! Live is tough in Eastern Europe!
Anyway, some things are just plain weird and the some...
Well, some are normal postcomunistic hopelessness - I mean those horses, snakes and other "artistically" and "carefully" made stuff. Can be still spoted in some places in Poland , too.Last edited by Spiryt; 2008-06-15 at 01:04 PM.

Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
Why weren't there any Cthulhus on the playgrounds where I used to play!
The rest looks pretty familiar and didn't even make me raise an eyebrow, though. Welcome to a post-Soviet playground, everyone.

I am unappreciative of where Cthulu's hand is going...

To be honest, I was more worried by the goastelephant, from that gallery (SFW, but not SFmind):

I just realized why our favorite Lovecraftian cosmic horror is doing this.

Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
I wish my playground had Cthulhu (that's the correct spelling, by the way) in it.
But if you scroll down to the comments, there are people claiming that a lot of these pictures aren't from playgrounds and some aren't even from Russia.

Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
The one with the city in the background might not be from Russia, but it isn't from Prague either. I have been to that city enough to know what it looks like and that isn't the way. But it could be in pretty much any other eastern European city or large town though.

Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
Hm...no, my childhood missed the horrific Soviet playgrounds...I grew up among the crappy painted steel contraptions that passed for playgrounds in the early 90s. But some things were left over, and they were pretty funny.

Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
Bah, except for the elder evil, most of this isn't any worse that some of what's seen in the so called 'western' world.
I'm sure that if you go about selecting stuff from the 'western' world as selectively and untruthfully as they did, you'd have a selections that's at the very least equally bad, and most likely worse.٩๏̯͡๏)۶

Re: C'thulu invades Russian playgrounds?
Mind sharing the joke in non-cyrillic?
Anwyay, I'm disturbed by the number of people here claiming "Oh, that's normal in Russia/Eastern Europe. Some of those things are freaky! The pooping elephant would probably make kids laugh, but the huge evil doctor with a syringe? Or the defaced evil child-caricatures dying in the snow? That scares even adults./*
