ArtistResearchers of the Slavic ethnos are inclined to believe that the Snow Maiden was not at all a granddaughter of Santa Claus, but a concubine. In some shaggy and strongly prehistoric times, the peoples who inhabited the current territory of the northern part of modern Russia had a custom: in winter, as the most severe cold came, they chose a beautiful girl from the tribe and took her to the forest, where she was tied naked to a tree - presented to Santa Claus, who at that time was called Karachun, and he was not a sweet kind grandfather in a blue fur coat, who gave gifts to children, but an evil old dwarf with a long shaggy beard and a staff - where he strikes with a staff, ice will rise on the river, where he leads with a staff, there the snow will fall. So such a girl was a new toy for him for love joys, thus our ancestors cajoled him so that he would not freeze people and cattle, and would not freeze huts. Hence the expression "his Karachun has had enough" - frozen, "stiffened", "stiffened".
