The Russian Santa Claus is known as Ded Moroz. “Ded Moroz” translates to “Grandfather Frost” in English, but most English speakers simply call him “Father Frost.” He is a figure associated with Russian Christmas traditions and New Year's traditions.
Christmas in Russia is most widely celebrated on January 7, according to the Orthodox calendar. New Year's Day, January 1st, precedes the Russian Christmas and is often celebrated as a more important holiday.
Ο Αγ. Νικόλαος είναι ιδιαίτερα δημοφιλής στη Ρωσία. Το όνομα Νικόλαος είναι από τα περισσότερο διαδεδομένα στη Ρωσία. Η ημέρα του Αγ. Νικολάου (6 Δεκεμβρίου) γιορταζόταν για αιώνες, ωστόσο μετά την επιβολή του κομμουνισμού οι θρησκευτικές γιορτές απαγορεύτηκαν και ο Αγ. Νικόλαος αντικαταστάθηκε από τον «Ντιέντ Μορόζ» (Ded Moroz), όπως είναι γνωστός στη Ρωσία ο Άη Βασίλης.
