Ded Moroz ( Russian: Дед Мороз, Ded Moroz; Belarusian: Дзед Мароз, Dzied Maróz; Ukrainian:  Дід Мороз, Did Moróz; Russian diminutive Russian: Дедушка Мороз, Dédushka Moróz; Serbian: Деда мраз / Deda Mraz; Bulgarian: Дядо мраз / Dyado Mraz; Slovene: Dedek Mraz; Macedonian: Дедо мраз / Dedo mraz; Croatian: Djed Mraz; Morozko (Russian: Морозко)) is a legendary figure similar to Father Christmas and Santa Claus who has his roots in Slavic paganism mythology. The tradition of Ded Moroz is mostly spread in East Slavic countries and is an important part of Russian culture. Although at the beginning of the Soviet era communists banned Ded Moroz he soon became an important part of the Soviet culture. The literal translation is "Grandfather Frost". Ded Moroz is depicted as bringing presents to well-mannered children, often delivering them in person on New Year's Eve.

In East Slavic cultures, Ded Moroz is accompanied by Sneguroshka (Russian: Снегурочка, Snegurochka; Ukrainiam: Снігуронька, Snihurónka; "Snow Maiden"), his granddaughter and helper, who wears long silver-blue robes and a furry cap or a snowflake-like crown. 

She is a unique attribute of Ded Moroz, since similar characters in other cultures do not have a female companion. Often Snegurochka have name Nastenka (Nastya), diminitive of Anastasia.
