In the culture of the Slavs the traditional character Ded Moroz plays a role similar to that of Santa Claus. The literal translation of the name would be Grandfather Frost. However, English-speakers traditionally translate his name as the alliterative Father Frost.

Ded Moroz brings presents to children. However, unlike the secretive ways of Santa Claus, he often brings them in person, at the celebrations of the New Year, at New Year parties for kids by the New Year Tree. The "in-person" gifts only occur at big organized celebrations, where the gifts can be "standardized." The clandestine operations of placing the gifts under the New Year tree still occur while the children are young. Ded Moroz is accompanied by Snegurochka, or ‘Snow Maiden,’ his granddaughter. She is a unique attribute of the image of Father Frost – none of his foreign colleagues has a similar companion. Read more on Wikipedia.

Details:  (CNN) — NASA said Friday it had discovered water on the moon, opening "a new chapter" that could allow for the development of a lunar space station.

The discovery was announced by project scientist Anthony Colaprete at a midday news conference.

"I’m here today to tell you that indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit; we found a significant amount" — about a dozen, two-gallon bucketfuls, he said, holding up several white plastic containers. 

"The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," the space agency said in a written statement shortly after the briefing began. Read more here.
