Mussorgsky

Either in “Attestations” section or a new section called “In Classical Music” (?), there should be a reference to Mussorgsky’s piece Pictures at an Exhibition. The Emerson, Lake, and Palmer’s version referenced in Baba Yaga wiki wouldn’t exist if Mussorgsky hadn’t written the piano suite first! Mcksis (talk) 19:19, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. You could have done it yourself. BTW it has nothning to do with attestations. - Altenmann >talk 22:16, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yaga

I am thoroughly baffled that nobody noticed that Jaga is a well-known diminutive of Jadwiga, and "baba Yaga" is as trivial as "grandma Jadwiga" with no deeper indoeuropean root-digging. Why in Russian culture a bear is "Michail Potapych", a cat is Vaska/Vasili, a fox is Patrikeyevna, but a wolf has no stereotypical name? Nobody will never know. (Interestingly, many dog's names do have history: Barbos, Trezor, Polkan). --Altenmann >talk 23:50, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
