That's Ch'II'Shaan - yakutian "bull of frost" and how much in length his horns will grow that much cold we will get for winter holidays this year. Technically Yakuta is part of Russia but that's not Father Frost himself -) Coworker I'd say -)

Father Frost have beside him his granddaughter - Snowflakie (Snegurochka\Снегурочка) But near Bull of frost is his beloved one - Cholbon Kuo,

The legend told us:

Being a Bull made of ice and cold wind He once fell in love with the beautiful Cholbon Kuo and flew with her high into the vast sky. The earth then fell silent in anticipation of a great miracle - the birth of new life and the begin of a new year. But as soon as the sun warmed the earth, the Great Bull's horn fell off, and then the second one. The Ch'II'Shaan fell apart (melted). And only the cold wind whispered to the beautiful Cholbon Kuo, "See you soon, my love, next winter!"

Then she turned into a bright morning star, the patroness of beloved (they call her a maiden star), and since then she waits for his return every year, and every time he returns to her in autumn. The end.

Edit: Transliteration of Yakutian name is a torture -)
