Description:
An adaptation of three fables by 19th century Russian poet Ivan Krylov - "The Curious Man", "The Donkey and the Nightingale", "The Cuckoo and the Rooster". Best appreciated by older viewers.
Sources for the fables:
Любопытный - "The Curious Man"/"The Inquisitive Man" (translated by W.R.S. Ralston in "Krilof and his fables" (1869), and by Stephen Pimenoff in a 2017 book).
This 1815 fable seems to be the source of the well known English expression "the elephant in the room".
Кукушка и петух - "The Cuckoo and the Rooster"/"The Cuckoo and the Cock" - translated by W.R.S. Ralston in "Krilof and his Fables" (1869)). Also on p.221 of "Kriloff's Original Fables", by I. Henry Harrison
Осёл и соловей - "The Donkey and the Nightingale"/"The Ass and the Nightingale" - translated by W.R.S. Ralston in "Krilof and his fables" (1869). Nicer (but less accurate) rhymed translation on p.21(56) of "Kriloff's Original Fables", by I. Henry Harrison
For the subtitles, a combination of all found sources with some original changes was used.

One of the Hrzhanovskiy films that I don't think had been translated before this. Judging from the comments on another Youtube video, this one gave a lot of Soviet kids nightmares. Indeed, I think I wouldn't recommend it to those not yet in their teens, at least - mainly because there wouldn't be much point, as the cultural references are too layered.
