“Father Frost” we call “Ded Moroz” in Russian and it represents Saint Nickolas who is known abroad as Santa Claus too. Sometimes Ded Moroz is understood as “Grandfather Frost” as this is maybe a more lingual correct form of the Russian Santa Claus naming. Also maybe worthwhile to know, the Russian Christmas is celebrated usually 13 days after the non-orthodox believers celebrate Christmas as we use for religious celebrations the Julian calender.

The Russian Santa Claus a Russian style wooden figurine.

Santa Claus is used in Russia only since the 90th as Russia - after the latest revolution which was turning the Soviet Union into the Russian Federation, doors where opened for use of foreign terminologies. Before that in Russia Santa Claus was - and is - called Ded Moroz (Дед Мороз), or Father Frost, respective Grandfather Frost, as it would be the widly translated form. Nowadays the use of calling this Christmas representative Santa Claus is getting more and more common.
There is only one, but important difference to the foreign Santa Claus, the Russian Santa Claus has an companion called Snegurochka (Снегурочка). Snegurochka (Snow Maid) is his Grand-daughter, and is helping Ded Moroz to disburse the Christmas gifts to the Children, and adult receivers.
Another important point is that the Russian Santa Claus is coming in the New years night, and/or at the Russian Christmas night, which is celebrated in Russia 13 days after the outside Russia usual 24/25th December date, based on the Russian religious based Julian Calendar.
This hand-crafted `Russian Santa Claus` is a wooden figurine which is a truly Russian style figurine, having all symbols shown which any Russian would expect from a typical Russian Santa Claus.
