The art of carving the wooden Russian Santa has evolved over the centuries.  The Santa Claus predecessor was the Ded
Moroz who visited the children and gave out presents.  Nowadays you can see many Father Frost figures, but during the
time of communism, this was not a common sight.  People now have the freedom to pursue religion and to celebrate the
Russian Orthodox holidays.
