Grandfather Frost — Russian fairy tale character
Ded Moroz or Father Frost, the Slavic version of Santa Claus, long ago became the symbol of Russian winter, New Year’s and presents. He is usually accompanied by his granddaughter Snegurochka riding with an evergreen tree in a traditional Russian troika, a sleigh drawn by three horses abreast.
Snegurochka is a unique attribute of the image of Ded Moroz – none of his foreign colleagues have such a cute companion.
