[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 4826059, member: 78949"]Maybe a bit late but the guys above are right - definitely these are illustrations of Russian folk tales. The one on the top is indeed "The Little Humpbacked Horse" by Pyotr Yershov (Конек-Горбунок Ершева) - the guy in black is "the bad guy", a Tsar's servant who stole the Firebird magic feather from Ivan while he was sleeping. The glowing thing next to the black guy is exactly the Firebird feather. Here there is information about the tale: [URL]https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Конёк-Горбунок[/URL] And the one on the doors is indeed from "The Stone Flower" by Pavel Bazhov.
