In contemporary Moscow, Karabas-Barabas has rebranded himself and launched a toy production factory. In the towering skyscrapers, he transforms “raw materials”—a collection of old toys of various kinds—into two “cutting-edge” standardized models: the “Nibbler” robot for boys and the “Glamushka” doll for girls. Now known as Mr. Baskara, he is confident that these models represent the future and will bring him substantial profits.
