Russian Scary Books for Naughty Kids

russian book for misbehaving 1

In early 90s you could buy special children books for misbehaving kids in Russia.

This is an example of such a book. Kid, who is reading this book, is being promised many scary things to encounter if he doesn’t obey to mother or father. Here are some translations:

“You’ll fall deep inside a hole
if you don’t obey to your mom”

“If you plan not to listen to father
wild black cats would scratch your brother”

      i dont understand this joke, some one please explain:
      Странного иракца, бредущего по пустыне в белой форме незнакомого образца, они заметили сразу. Весь взвод, укрывшись за “Хаммерами”, долго рассматривал его в бинокли,пытаясь обнаружить оружие, но тщетно. Похоже, сошедший с ума от ужаса, он брел, сам не зная куда. Из сострадания к несчатсному, решено было отвезти его в госпиталь. Разведчики быстро догнали одинокого иракца и окружили, разглядывая старомодную выцветшую форму и совершенно нелепую на их американский взгляд фуражку… Позднее единственный разведчик, выбравшийся живым из этой ужасной бойни, рассказал, что иракский смертник, перебивший весь авангард американской дивизии, повторял перед боем странную боевую мантру: - Zdravstvujte, lubjeznaya moja Katerina Matveevna…

      • sveta (aka slava; checked your IP) I have to say this one more time: ADAPT. Or drown. Thats what happened to the neanderthals…

      • Andrew Bond says:
