The politician - a close ally of prime minister Vladimir Putin - made his icy blast during a visit to Velikiy Ustyug, traditional home of Grandfather Frost in the far north of the country.

Speaker of the Russian Parliament Boris Gryzlov insisted that the only authentic figure was Ded Moroz - translated as Grandfather Frost, who has traditionally brought presents to children across Moscow's sprawling empire. Even in Russia, Christmas is a religious war. Gryzlov must be an old Commie, boosting the pagan Grandfather Frost instead of St. Nicholas (Sint Niklaas or "Sinter Claus" in old New Amsterdam Dutch), one of Russia's most popular saints.
