Not only children play with toys. Adults also love children's fun, only they carefully hide their addictions. The only category of people who openly demonstrates their addiction to games with cars, airplanes and dolls are designers and artists. They even put on specialty exhibitions dedicated to children's toys. One of them was conducted by Design Exchange, led by curator Pharrell Williams.
The exhibition titled "These Are Not Toys" runs until May 19, 2014. It exhibits works by artists such as: Devilrobots, James Jarvis, Junko Mizuno, Michael Lau, Nathan Jurevicius and Pete Fowler. All works are distinguished by originality and style, as well as a certain amount of frivolity, which is inherent in all toys.
Some visitors to the exhibition claim that modern toys are quite aggressive, that Cheburashka, Kapitoshka and Vasilisa the Beautiful would look much better on pedestals than numerous robots and ninjas. But, we must admit that not all fairy tales were kind before. Take, for example, the wolf from the cartoon "Well, Wait!", Which tried in every possible way to eat the hare, or Ivan Tsarevich, who ruthlessly cut off the dragon's head.
A certain cruelty is present in these tales, despite the pretty image of a hare and a beautiful princess awaiting the groom with a victory. Be that as it may, no childhood is complete without toys. And it is very good that designers are actively involved in the creation of modern fairy-tale characters.

In our time, he is already accused of sending several of his brothers to the next world in order to occupy the Kiev throne. But was it only the desire for power that drove Prince Yaroslav? If you look at the history of his family, then everything that happens is more like revenge … to his father. Bloody revenge for bloody atrocity
She did not promote the Germans, did not ruin Russia, did not leave the course of Peter: what is Anna Ioannovna accused of in vain?
Anna Ioannovna, niece of Peter the Great, went down in history with a terrible image. For what they just did not reproach the second ruling queen of Russia: for tyranny and ignorance, craving for luxury, indifference to state affairs and for the fact that the dominance of the Germans was in power. Anna Ioannovna had a lot of bad character, but the myth about her as an unsuccessful ruler who gave Russia to be torn apart by foreigners is very far from the real historical picture
