D. dissertation of Andreas Johns, "Neither of these two interpretations significantly changes the image of Baba Yaga familiar from folktales.

Englishwoman Sophie Anderson, thanks to the stories of her grandmother, got acquainted with Slavic mythology in early childhood, one of the most beloved was Vasilisa the Beautiful, who copes with the impossible tasks of Baba Yaga to get a skull with burning eyes from her, which will help get rid of the evil stepmother. A beautiful, engaging, and thought provoking story that deftly navigates the complexities of grief and loss against the backdrop of growing up and fitting in. She'd rather be a normal young girl; a girl who goes to school, and hangs out with the living instead of the dead.My favourite characters are the house because it shows it’s personality and feelings in interesting ways and Jack because even though he shows it in unusual ways, he really cares about Marinka. Marinka’s grandmother is a Yaga, someone who guides the recently dead through The Gate so they can make their way back to the stars they came from.

His experience in creating high-impact immersive events traverses theatre and includes large scale brand activations such as ‘Road to the Final ’ to celebrate Heineken’s Champions League Semi-Final in Barcelona; an event that took 10 global media influencers across land, sea and sky to arrive at the match, with coverage reaching 56 million unique users from around the globe. This sparkling debut weaves the captivating folklore of Baba Yaga with the thrills of a classic venturing-out-into-the-world quest, replete with primal conflicts, tantalising twists and an unforgettable protagonist that readers will truly root for.I thought this book was quite sad at times because Marinka was only able to have the same friends for a short period of time before the house moved on. So "terrible old witch" or the obviously superior "spooky grandma" are solid translations, likely neither something John Wick wants to be known as. As an audience member, I could tell that they understood their character so well, and knew exactly how they would respond in certain situations. However, Ahad noted, "The piece is overlong, with too much story and a running time that pushes towards three hours [.
