About the book: 2019 / Artist: Maria Ivanova. Kudykiny Mountains is a mystical place where everyone goes, and no one ever gets there. It comes from the Russian word “kudyka” (from the adverb: kudi) - this is how a person asks a hunter where he is going. According to popular belief, this cannot be done, so in response hunters usually say: to Kudykino Mountain, to Kudykino Field, to Kudykino Island. According to Dahl's dictionary, the phrase “kick chickens” means: “to ask, unnecessarily, people you meet: where are you going?” In Ozhegov’s dictionary, “to kick” means to ask a person walking: “Where are you going?”, “Where are you going?” Collection 2019.
