In the vast expanses of Russia, you can find almost everything – amazingly beautiful natural sites and diverse works of human hands.

Probably the strangest of these creations are bizarre and often creepy self-made toys standing in the open air almost anywhere where people live.

It has become a tradition coming from the times of the Soviet Union. The authorities often don’t pay much attention to beautification of towns and villages and the locals take matters into their own hands using the materials at hand and unbridled imagination. Photos by: Sergey Anashkevitch.

Swans made of tires are probably the most famous and popular self-made outdoor toys in Russia.
