Baba Yaga is an important figure in Russian culture, apparently an ancient goddess who ruled in Eurasia before Russia was born. She is now remembered in folklore as a witch who usually flies around in a mortar, wields a pestle (although brooms are creeping in thanks to Western influence), and lives in deep forest in a hut usually described as standing on chicken legs. She may be a villain who eats heroes or may provide magical assistance to heroes-in-need.

Per Wikipedia:
—the first written mention of Baba Yaga is in a Russian grammar in 1770, where she is identified as a member of pre-Russia's ancient pantheon of gods.
Per Google Scholar:
*Fierce Feminine Divinities of Eurasia and Latin America: Baba Yaga, Kālī, Pombagira, and Santa Muerte* by Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba, 2015. [Excerpts available in Google Scholar.]
