The Russian Santa Claus in Siberia (The eastern part of Russia situated in Asia). He’s known as Ded Moroz.
-Merry Xmas from Universal Beauty 

Winner of the Best-Dressed Santa Award, hands down!

meanwhile this level 100 wizard

Not quite. This is Yakutian Chys Khan, Ded Moroz’s northern “brother”. Russian Federation is a melting pot of different cultures, it’s not just slavs, don’t forget that.

This is Ded Moroz (a.k.a. Father Frost)

And here they are together

wow, don’t forget Snegurochka, his daughter, the snow maiden, who always accompanies him. She has a beautifuk kokoshnik crown that is essentially a big snowflake

or, more contemporarily, a cute toque

don’t leave her out 😦

Ooh

Keeps getting more awesome

he actually predates christianity and santa myths, though a lot has been bleeding together over the centuries. Снегурочка (the snow maiden) is his granddaughter though.
