GAMAYUN whistle: a support for Meduza Project
In April 2021, online newspaper Meduza was designated as a foreign media agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice. Since the beginning of the year, another 11 media outlets, 42 journalists and 9 non-profit organization, including charitable ones, have also been included in the register of foreign agents.
In support of Meduza (and of an independent journalism in Russia!) we're releasing a souvenir – a wooden whistle Gamayun (or Sirin). A female headed bird of paradise is a recognizable image from Slavic mythology, where Gamayun is a prophetic bird and a folklore symbol of wisdom and knowledge, that lives on an island in the mythical east, close to a paradise. She is said to spread divine messages and prophecies, as she knows everything of all creations, gods, heroes and men.
! We will transfer 30% of the proceeds from the sale of the souvenir to the Meduza.
A wooden whistle is a traditional Russian toy: craftsmen from different regions are making whistles since the X century. Our whistles are made of linden wood and are painted by hand.
