Ukrainian political consultant and freelance adviser to the president Oleg Medvedev puzzled his readers with these questions on his Facebook page.
“Are Father Frost and the Snow Maiden subject to decommunization as symbols of the Soviet era? Or are they active Russian agents, the soft power of the Kremlin? Or is this the heritage of Finno-Ugric folklore that is alien to us? Does this artifact have a place in Ukrainian holiday discourse? Believe it or not, I've been suffering from this for half a day now. This is necessary for professional political consultation,” Medvedev wrote.
