text: [W]hat really marks out the Russian wondertale is its stylistic ornamentation and its range of frightening ogres. Of the latter the best known is the Baba Iaga, no ordinary witch, but, it would seem, mistress of the animals and guardian of the other world, and hence connected with death.

text: Stalin’s dress implies the possibility that he is androgynous. This implication appears to be underscored by an association made in [Ivan] Chonkin’s dream between Stalin and Baba Iaga. Halimur Khan has astutely pointed out the passage’s folkloric subtext: Stalin “flies” down to confront Chonkin, and his pipe and rifle are analogues of Baba Iaga’s mortar and pestle.
