Of Russia's folklore, there is little that has inspired creative minds so much as the Baba Yaga. But who is she, and where did she come from? Welcome to the Archives.

This video relied on a few articles by Nicholas Kotar, the website Ancient Origins, and the New World Encyclopedia, but most of all, on a book entitled "Baba Yaga: The Ambiguous Mother and Witch of the Russian Folktale" by Andreas Johns. If you're interested in Baba Yaga, and are willing to read some dry prose, I'd highly recommend the book.
