This website contains a selections of old russian fairy-tales, but slightly modernized and shortened. The animations presented on the website had a definite impact on me, this is because I grew up with with this stories around me and seeing them in an animated form somehow made me all warm inside. My grandmother told me some of them when I was very little.
There are several other things that I love about the animations presented on this website, and firstly comes the general appearance of them. The animator (Andrei Bahurin) has managed to draw upon the right sources of inspiration that made this animation appear distinctly Russian. He has simplified the style and the color pallet but somehow he managed to retain the essence of old Russian tale.
Obviously the sound plays big importance and in this case the style of narration seems to enhance the experience greatly.

This particular animation is about a German being in charge of a Russian village and how he was making them work without the appreciation for the religious celebrations. This animation showed how the oppressor was "outwitted" and effectively punished. Of course he started respecting the customs and lived happily ever after.
