Book Launch for Russian Optimism: Dark Nursery Rhymes To Cheer You Right Up

Russian Optimism is an illustrated coffee table book of thirty of Russia’s most horrifically hysterical nursery rhymes translated for the first time for an English speaking audience.

Each rhyme is 2-4 lines, with an innocent title and a horrible ending. Each rhyme is accompanied by a brightly colored yet twisted illustration of the scenario described to add humor.

For example, The Woods: “A little boy found a machine gun. Nothing lives in the woods anymore.”
