Actually, that kinda reminds me of a town statue I saw when I visited Bremen, Germany (where they make Becks).

Google came up with this patent for it:

"An array of parallel pipes, each having ports through which jet-like air streams exit, are arranged so that a peripherally directed air curtain is formed. The posts are shielded at both ends, and one end is provided with a chimney along a central axis of the air by which air or fluid is removed. By giving the air curtain a centrifugal force, a negative pressure is produced along a central core, and a spiral flow is produced, creating an artificial tornado."

I am also guessing they have an outlet for the fog in the ground and the lights up top added for making it more visible.

They have a small one at Universum Science Center in Bremen (site in german only, sorry) which is very cool because you can run your hand through it and interrupt the flow to see it forming from scratch again.

It's from the Cheburashka cartoon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheburashka .

It's Krokodil Gena. I don't remember all the words, but he says some things that he wishes will happen on his birthday: a wizard will come in a blue hellicopter, and there will be a free movie, and ice cream pies (Eskimo').

All of those old soyuzmultfilm cartoons are great, there are several clips on Youtube. Copy and paste the Russian names to seach:
The most famous cartoons are Cheburashka (Чебурашка), Winnie the Pooh (Винни Пух) and The Musicians of Bremen --my favorite-- (Бременские музыканты), Karlson from the roof, and the Hedgehog in the Fog (Ёжик в тумане).
