Oooh yes, every kid knows about Baba Yaga ("baba" means "grandma" / "granny" by the way). It's a very East European thing, indeed.

She is a curious thing - some kind of ugly old hag that lives deep in the wild (in a house rising on giant chicken legs) and likes eating people, especially little children. And that's why you have to eat your breakfast and behave yourself, or else the Baba will come and get you!

Her means of transportation is a flying broom. She also concots poisons and other nasty stuff in her cauldron. Last but not least, she always knows if you're being disrespectful to her and comes to punish you!

Don't confuse her with Baba Marta - she is a positive character, an embodiment of the month of March (the beginning of spring).

Here are some lovely photos for your viewing pleasure -
