Park of the Russian period: how the Chinese forged Russia

In the Chinese city of Tianjin, a major port on the shores of the Yellow Sea, a Russian-style amusement park has been opened: copies of St. Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin towers, nesting dolls and even an old Russian warship.

The fact is that the Chinese decided to adapt the Kiev aircraft-carrying cruiser bought from Russia in the 1990s for tourist needs.

In general, in the view of the Chinese, Russia looks pretty fun.

A kind of St. Basil's Cathedral.

There are not enough caricaturists and trays with earflaps, right?

Looks like my grandmother is here.

Matryoshka decorated with an attacking aircraft carrier? Are you seriously?

A whole gallery of nesting dolls!

Princess Swan, is that you?

Even the toilet here is some kind of monumental popular print.

In the Chinese traditional view of our country, there is no clear division between Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

What is this? Ice cream "48 kopecks"?

What an interesting mix of eras.
