In Soviet Russia, like in most of the pre-internet world, children's entertainment mainly came in three formats; state-sponsored live performances, the screen (TV, cinema), or the phonograph. To keep things lively, a wide selection of vinyl records were produced in the Soviet Union, such as this set of four (4) 33 ⅓ RPM fairy tale albums featuring the most popular children's characters!

The records are in very good vintage shape and have been cleaned in a record washing machine, played for quality control. All come with the original sleeves. The titles are:
