Illustrations for Ivan Krylov's fable Tit appeared on the walls of an underpass in Erfurt (Germany). The authors of the drawings were local young graphic artists. In order for passers-by to understand the meaning of the paintings, the text of the fable in German is placed in the passage, according to the Russkoe Pole newspaper.

The passage is located in the Quarter of Poets, which can be called the most Russian district of the city. The building is listed on Pushkin Street and is located near a school named after the great Russian poet.

The area is considered a resting place for the townspeople; there are two parks in it. The passage is loved by local children thanks to its loud echoes. Now they will be able to get acquainted with the fascinating plot of the fable about the titmouse, which threatened to burn the sea, and illustrations for it.

The authors of the drawings created 34 scenes, having spent about 120 liters of acrylic paint during the work. The painting was ordered by the German Railways and the Erfurt Crime Prevention Council.
