This text provides information about various countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and how they have adopted or adapted the figure of Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost), a character from Russian folklore. Here's a summary of each country: 1. Albania: In Albanian folklore, Babai i Zjarrit is said to bring gifts on New Year's Eve. 2. Bulgaria: The character known as Dedo Mraz is based on the Russian figure but with some differences in appearance and traditions. 3. Croatia: There are two figures associated with gift-giving at Christmas, both of whom have different origins. 4. Czech Republic: In addition to Ježibaba (a witch-like character), there is a female figure known as Babička lednice ("Grandma Frost"). 5. Dalmatia: The gifts are brought by Sveta Lucija ("Saint Lucy") in some parts of the region. 6. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan: Ayaz Ata is the Kazakh and Kyrgyz name for Ded Moroz. 7. Poland: There was an attempt to introduce a character named Dziadek Mróz during the communist period, but it did not gain much popularity. 8. Romania: Moș Gerilă (literally "Old Man Frosty") was introduced as a replacement for Moş Crăciun (Father Christmas) in 1948 and brought gifts on December 31. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, Moș Gerilă lost his influence, and Moş Crăciun became popular again. 9. Sakha Republic: Chys Khan is known as the master of cold, accompanied by the snow maiden Khaarchana. 10. Slovenia: Dedek Mraz was introduced in 1953, and he has become a public figure, often depicted with his female companion, babica Zima (Grandma Winter). He brings gifts on New Year's Eve. The common thread among these countries is that they have adapted or modified the figure of Ded Moroz to fit their local traditions and folklore. Some countries have also introduced new characters while maintaining the spirit of gift-giving during the winter season.
