Creepy doll Masha scared Kemerovo schoolchildren

The Staropetrovsk school in the Belovsky district of the Kemerovo region decided to celebrate the birthday of the well-known Masha from the cartoon “Masha and the Bear” in a special way, inviting the heroine of the fairy tale herself to the lesson. But Masha turned out to be not too similar to her version from the cartoon. A doll with inflated lips appeared in front of the teacher, boys and girls.

Photos from the unusual event instantly spread across social networks. Users immediately began to put forward versions of why the doll looked like this. Some suggested that Masha’s appearance was affected by her hard life with the bear. Others, on the contrary, thought that the cartoon heroine took a lot on her chest. Hence the shabby look. There were also those who compared the girl’s unusual beauty with a creature from the horror film “Silent Hill.” More modern commentators believed that Masha’s appearance is a kind of tribute to the current fashion of enlarging her lips.

Meanwhile, the local education department said that the life-size doll was provided by a cultural institution. “There are no life-size puppets in educational institutions. What cultural institutions provide is what we have to work with,” said a representative of the education department. He also noted that assessing Masha’s appearance is a matter of taste, and emphasized that, despite the dissimilarity with the original, the doll remains an element of the organized holiday.
