Slavic mythology without folklore kitsch: RUA160’s visual world
A reading of character — not a list of bast-shoe and matryoshka clichés.
Slavic imagery around RUA160 can collapse into souvenir kitsch. Canon does not: the witch-fonker is stylization, not an ethnographic booth.
Character instead of cliché
The visual world holds ritual-amber light and a pulse surface. Release titles may nod to myth or city — but tone is set by character, not “authenticity.”
So the right question is not “how folkloric,” but “how RUA160.” If you only hear a phonk template — the image failed.
Mythology is fuel. Not a rented costume.
