A couple
days ago I went to a party in my daughter’s kindergarten dedicated to Women’s
Day. And there, the kids even went into a deep forest to congratulate Baba Yaga.
And they found out that she is not as evil as fairytales tell us. She may have
a bad temper, but after all, she is a woman, too. ;)
That gave
me an idea to write a blog post about some feminine characters in Russian
mythology. And guess who will be the first one I mention?
Baba Yaga
Here are
some pictures of this well-known character:
These two pictures are taken from well-known Russian movies. Several generations of children grew up seeing Baba Yaga as it is depicted there. The role of Baba Yaga was played by a Russian actor Georgiy Millyar.
