A giant inflatable Kolobok—the famous round character from a classic Russian folk tale—has appeared in central Moscow to promote an upcoming film adaptation.
In the original story, Kolobok rolls away from his grandparents, escapes several hungry animals, and is eventually outsmarted by a fox.
If HoldMyVodka ever had an official artist, it might just be Srulneg.
The Russian artist blends dark humor, vodka, sarcasm and everyday absurdity into paintings that feel like internet memes brought to life.
This one features a mallard smoking a cigarette, carrying a bottle of Absolut Vodka, flipping off a flock of migrating birds, and seemingly deciding that flying south is overrated.
