Baba Yaga checks under her bed for John Wick before sleeping.
"Her" it's a female unless she part of the LGBTQ+++ commute lol
@imdavidbaby you're right. I was thinking of the boogeyman. 😅
Heh, bravo
And checks her closet for chick norris😂
She should be afraid of Kratos if she ever tries to steal his son Atreus.
She is not only in Russian folklore - also Polish, Czech. Sometimes she is mixed into other fairy tales like about Hansel and Gretel. As a child (and also my parents and grandparents played it) I was playing a game called "raz, dwa, trzy - Baba Jaga patrzy" (one, two, three, Baba Yaga is watching)
Baba yaga inspired the three crones in the Witcher games😊
Baba Yaga is not just russian, she is SLAVIC goddess-witch. And she is kind, because she often gave for main character bed for night, food and also to wash in her banya.

If you want to drive the Baba Yaga away, call Mr. Wick
Ok… then who’s gonna scare Mr. Wick away??
I've always been fascinated by Baba Yaga. She's such a mysterious and powerful character. This video did a great job of exploring her different aspects. I learned a lot about her origins and her role in Slavic culture. I also liked the way the video discussed her symbolism. Baba Yaga is definitely a character worth learning more about. Thanks for sharing!
Slavic mythology has some records about baba yaga
Random person: So are you good or bad?
Baba Yaga: Depends on my mood that day.
There are a lot of cool stories in Eastern European folklore. The ones about traveling to different worlds are extra weird, but in a fun way: maces that fly home to announce the owner is coming home, talking crows that will help you in exchange for the bodies of your enemies, objects that when thrown, turn into a mountain which slows down the bad guy chasing, etc
That doesn't look anything like Keanu Reeves...
If you want to drive the Baba Yaga away, call Mr. Wick
U mean John Wick 😉
Yup
As an expert on Slavic folklore as well as someone lived in Russia/Ukraine for 18 years, there are fee inaccuracies in this video 😉.But it’s still cool to see Baba Yaga getting some attention. She is a woman after all 😉👍🏻
There is no way Big Mom wasn’t based on Baba Yaga. Interesting fact: in Slavic languages Baba means grandma, but in Japanese Baba means old bag 👌
Thank you for Baba Yaga Myth Stories.
Now have any of you have heard the Baba Yaga who holding the TTI Pit Viper.
They call him "Baba Yaga"

🤔👏 Wow impressive story Baba Yaga The Terrifying Witch of Russian Folklore. They need to careful about Baba Yaga it is dangerous.
cool animations !
It's odd, I have no Slavic blood, and I've noticed several bits that are wrong with this.
It's awesome they made a video based on a Slaughter to Prevail song
Grew up in Germany, I remember hearing stories about Baba Yags a lot of times back when I was a kid. My grandparents used to say to me “Andy if you don’t eat your vegetables, Baba Yaga or Krampus will eat you!”
Though many of her stories portray her as a carnival, not one involve her actually eating a single person.
Thanks for the good video 💀
She is scary but if you were able to outsmart her then she'd help you out.
Grain of salt like with any mystical supernatural being.
In Serbian mythos she is also called Baba Roga (Baba Horned).
Haven't watched it yet but I'd to comment😂😂
This is the creature they call John Wick.
I’ve seen her in ever after high
In the video her hut is shown with chicken legs, wich is a popular and comical misconception. The word used to described its legs is "курьих"("kuryih"), wich sounds like an adjective, derived from the word chicken("kuritsa"), but actually comes from the word "kurniy", wich is another way to describe smoke. So yeah, it's actually floating on smoke(most likely ceremonial smoke, because smoke is "dim", and the root "kur", now used to describe the action of smoking cigarretes, was used for ceremonial herbs that were burnt)
😂 Baba Yaga reminds me of a really bad old boss I used to work for I'm glad that I rage quit on her
Her house is really cool 😎
First time I heard about her was when I played Quest For Glory 1. She later returns in QFG4.
I have before heard she is very active around saint Nicholas time period. Almost as if she keeps an eye out for who needs coal.
Baba Yaga traveling with help of magic mortar and pestle, and can't cross flowing water.
This video gets some important things about Baba Yaga, like the fact that her hut has Chicken legs.
Anatoly Lyadov made a short tone poem about her in 1904.
AKA Baba Roga in Serbian
its john wick's nickname
In Serbia, she was called Baba Roga, and as a child I was very afraid of her, I had nightmares, I cried a lot, now I don't anymore 😁
I have seen that u reached exacty 1200 views
"Baba" means "grandma" in Serbian language
It’s in Bulgarian:)
@@itanchiro5524 And in Serbian
Not Russian, but I wouldn’t expect this channel to be factually accurate 😂

I habe taken my place amog the honoured ones
Who knows about Baba yaga from John Wick
Baba yaga’s nose was made of iron
I heard she gave Dracula his curse
She’s portrayed as a cannibal yet she never ate a single person in any of her tales.
Why does this remind me of john wick
No connection to Baba Vanga, I suppose.
The story of baba yaga was introduced by Mikhail vasiliyevuch lomonosov, a Russian orthodox Christian polymath. Since he is an orthodox Christian, chances are that he will not paint a good picture of a pagan slavic god.
And so this description of yours is not reliable. Nobody worship bad things.
Therefore I hypothesise that baba yaga was a beautiful goddesses of slavic mythology who did some good to slavic people.
"Nobody worship bad things" you're a fount of optimism.
There are religions of orthodoxy(right belief) and those of orthopraxy(right practice/conduct). Greek/Roman gods were cruel, but they did various rituals to stave them off, driven by fear more than hope.

We came to know for the first time about Roman and Greek god from the annals of early christians who hated them most. Did you not read " the darkening age" by Catherine nixie?? There you can see how cruelly early Christians hated Roman god's. You should also see the movie agora (2009). There you can find how early Christians of Alexandria hated Roman gods and destroyed serapium : the library of Alexandria and killed the only female philosopher hypatia brutally.
You should also see the movie " mists of Avalon" there you will find the same hatred of pagan Celtic gods in Britain by Christians there. Such hatred leads to death of the priestess of the earth goddess.
Then you understand the magnitude of hatred early Christians have for pagan gods.
We Hindus in India is the last pagan of the world and we know how christian hate us in India. They continue their legacy of hate from Europe to india.
So I think I have given enough reason for my disbelief in the account of greko Roman god by early Christians.
@@arnabkumarbanerjee8150How do you know Christian’s hate you in India and how do they “continue their legacy of hate”?
These days, it is Baba Putin... 😂😂😂😂
She represents today's modern women
Baba Karen!
So this is what the Russians mean when they call the Ukrainian drones by this name. Thanks!
Fun fact: in ancient Slavic beliefs, baba yaga ate all the black ppl in eastern Europe. In fact, her favorite meal was a pregnant black woman.
This one is going in the vault.
Haven't watched it yet but I'd to comment😂😂
