Russian tattoos today are becoming increasingly popular. They replaced exotic patterns of foreign origin and sacred signs. Tattoo artists often receive orders for applying images of Russian symbols. Consider the meaning of such tattoos in more detail.
A bit of history

Not so long ago a book of fairy tales about Kurochka Ryaba was published, illustrated by Mikhail Baster.
