Strange but still interesting.
Is this from the soviet era?
Truly like a bad acid trip. This kind of thing would give a child nightmares. It gives ME nightmares. Those clowns… ugh.
Not to mention you’d tear yourself a new asshole going down the slide.
I would imagine their laws concering personal injury law suits are a bit different than in America, lol.
When I was on vacation in Mexico a couple years ago I saw holes in the middle of sidewalks that would have caused instant lawsuits here in the US.
You damn Americans sue over anything, like if the toilet paper ripped while you were wiping your ass you’d sue whoever made yours fingers stinky.
Back to the topic; some of those caricatures look like the art style of whoever created Spongebob Squarepants, especially pic #13.
You are so jealous.
Spongebob Squarepants is Ronald Reagan’s fault. Steven Hillenburg, Spongebob’s
creator, is formaly trained as a marine biologist. Along came Reagan, and all the grants dried up for marine biologists, so Steven had to make a big career move.
I repeat. SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IS RONALD REAGAN’S FAULT!

Ah….memories
Lawsuits are so 20th century.
That is a bit strange.
scariest stuff, like this ca be found in Medvez’egorsk, thats in karelia. The town used to be a tine growing industrial see port and then everything just stopped working and it started to die out. There are a lot of parks and abandoned playgrounds standing in what looks like forest: the best one is a huge mechanical rocket that used to go up & down; slava rossii;
Most children would be fascinated by such a place. They know it’s make-believe and it’s fun.
Bear (?) on second picture looks like those from North Korea:

At first, I thought it was a mouse. It has some droopy breasts.
first one looks like teletubies
The first one is a teletubie. It says I am Po on the front, so they can’t be that old.
Why do chainsaw sculptures have this creepy gothic feeling to them?

What else could you build if you only had a welder, some steel tubing and a few logs and chisels?
There weren’t any premade playgrounds made by designers and factories, they all are one-off, put together by some local drunken construction workers.
Yes steel and wood, easy to come by in Russia. These objects are imaginative and unique. This place may be a one-off, but children will always have fun there. Do you think they care that these things were not developed by designers and built in factories?
Yes, they do care. The carousels and swing sets in the USSR were bone breaking forehead cracking solid steel contraptions.
All the playsets in america are made in china from cheap ass plastic, and they always fall apart.
We used to have bone breaking forehead cracking solid steel contraptions in the UK too. They were great. These days we have rubbish wooden ones which are only about four feet high and are basically shit. I know which I’d be playing on if we’d had both sorts when I was a kid.
I guess the bear is a version of Misha, the mascot of the Moskva Olympic Games 1980:

The guy with green pants must be “Karlsson on the roof”, one of Astrid Lindgrens characters (extremely popular in Soviet Russia).

Anyway, I love this cartoon with all the freak`s.
