Big words or real actions? Watch the new episode of the National Centre RUSSIA animated series

The National Centre RUSSIA has released the second episode of the animated series "The Book of Russian Fairy Tales: The Faraway Kingdom" ("The Thrice-Ninth Tsardom"). The new short story is based on a Caucasian parable about how boasting can distort the truth.

The main character is the hunter Muzair, whose grand promises only make his actual achievements seem smaller each time. With humour, the tale reminds us that fine words should always be backed up by real actions.

Each episode of "The Book of Russian Fairy Tales: The Faraway Kingdom" introduces viewers to rare fairy tales from the peoples of Russia, along with their culture, history and traditions. It is a visual journey into the world of folk wisdom that both children and adults can enjoy.

The visual style of the second episode combines Ivan Bilibin's crisp ornamental style with the warm colours of the Caucasus. Mountain landscapes, vivid patterns and national motifs inspired by the works of People's Artists of the Chechen Republic create the atmosphere of a magical legend and offer a deeper insight into the culture of the region.

The Firebird once again serves as a guide into the world of fairy tales. It opens the way for everyone whose heart is filled with curiosity, respect for tradition and a readiness to make new discoveries.

"The Book of Russian Fairy Tales: The Faraway Kingdom" combines a modern digital format with the richness of folk legacy. The project recreates the artistic traditions of great masters, while its fairy-tale stories explore values that everyone can relate to: honesty, respect, family, mutual support and love for the Motherland. In the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia, stories like these take on particular significance.
