A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint... Magical Russian Tales and the Izmailovo Kremlin

Magical Russian fairy tales are a whole world with good and evil witches, Baba Yaga, Koschei the Immortal, Fire-Breathing Serpent and Vasilisa the Beautiful. This is the legacy we inherited from our ancestors. It not only brings wonderful dreams and awakens our imagination, gives us examples and anti-examples, but also teaches us the perception of human values. In addition, fairy tales are a magical chest in which memories of life, rituals and myths of our people are stored.

You will find out who created the magic, and who created it. Why in a fairy tale everything is not as in life: time flows differently, the heroes have unusual assistants, such as a tablecloth, a carpet, magic shoes, and returning home is the main motive of almost every story.

The dark side of the tale and how it answers our questions about life and death.

And the Izmailovo Kremlin will be a wonderful decoration for our conversation. This cultural and entertainment complex was built in 1998-2007 on the territory of the Izmailovo estate. It is a wooden building, stylized under the Russian architecture of the XVI-XVII centuries. It combines many features of ancient Russian Kremlins of different times, their most interesting and colorful details.

If the tour will be small listeners, then we will discuss in more detail the fairy tales themselves and their instructive meaning. And with adults, we will decipher the symbolism of fairy-tale objects and natural phenomena and look for the source of modern traditions, habits and rituals in fairy tales.
