Safari Park Kudykin Mountain, dragon statue

This picture of a massive three-headed dragon statue caught our eye, and we couldn’t help but wonder where it came from. Turns out, it’s part of a Russian theme park that is full of wondrous sculptures and activities.

Oh, and it breathes fire.

The dragon statue (sculpture might be more accurate, as it isn’t carved from stone, but seems to be made of wire mesh covered in some type of plaster) is situated in Kamenka of Zadonsk, in the district of Lipetsk, Russia. It’s part of a theme park–Safari Park Kudykin Mountain–that is full of wondrous sundry. Here’s a video of the going-ons:

There website can be found here–it’s in Russian, but it’s no trouble to click through regardless, and contains a handy map of the place along with pictures. It looks like there’s a village area with craftspeople, a petting zoo of sorts, and plenty of environments to interact with.

Oh, and not to belabor the point, but the dragon does breathe fire:

I wonder if Ghidrah’s Cossack Cousin here is supposed to be the same dragon that was fought Ilya Muramets in legend?  (MST3K fans will be familiar with him through the film THE SWORD AND THE DRAGON).

After a little more research I can identify our dragon here as Zmey Gorynych, a creature from Slavic mythology.  In the original legend he was actually slain by another legendary hero Dobrynya Nikitich. but in the movie was retrofitted into Ilya Muramets’ story.
