How Soviet Russia Banished Their Version of Santa Claus, Then Brought Him Back to Spread Communist Cheer Time 12/24/2020 Madeline Roache © Misha Japardze AFP via Getty Images President Vladimir Putin (L) is seen with a man dressed up as Ded Moroz, the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus, at Ded Moroz s palace in Veliky Ustyug, in the Vologda region, about 650 kilometers north of Moscow on 7 January 2008. Around the world there are different versions of the jolly, bearded man who gives gifts to children in December or, in some countries, January. Unlike the bloated, red-coated father Christmas of the West, Russia’s Santa Claus, known as Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost), is slender with a wizard-like flowing beard and he wears a long robe that comes in different colors, such as blue and white.
