    Baba Yaga is our Slavic initiator of kids coming into adulthood (commies are involved, too ). He probably failed the test by wearing laser taser on his hip untill 20+ yo LOL

    Is baba Yaga exists in polish folklore too?
    Yes, She does and She always will

    We have it too, only it's called Torbar/Čiča (if memory serves me well). My grandparents always used stories about him to scare my sister and me when we get restless. It worked every time.

    Tales about Baba Yaga (Baba Roga) were never used against me because my parents didn't like the idea of scaring their children. Nevertheless, Baba Yaga has always been a well known character in these parts.

    I'm not sure playing it today would have the same effect, but at the time it was the shit.

    I've always loved the Baba Yaga folklore. A witch with such strange characteristics.

    My parents scared me with Baba Yaga when I was little. But I would say, "Well where is the ugly creature?"
