I felt 3 stars is appropriate for difficulty, but I agree with mahalo, the picture was odd.

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 (or broom), and dwells deep in the 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.
