Jack Frost: The Fairy Tale That Taught Children How to Die

Описание: Before Jack Frost painted windows and nipped at noses, he was something else entirely. He was death. The personification of the season that killed more humans than any war, any plague, any predator. Tonight, we travel to the frozen forests of ancient Russia to meet him — and the girl who faced his impossible question.

This is the story of Morozko. Father Frost. A tale where a father abandons his daughter in the killing cold, where a god of winter tests the dying with a simple question, and where the wrong answer means joining the frozen dead. It's not a fairy tale. It's a survival guide — encoded in mythology by ancestors who knew that winter was coming to kill them, every single year.

We trace the god of cold across cultures — from Russian Morozko to Norse frost giants, from Slavic death goddess Morana to the Wild Hunt that rode winter storms. We examine why our ancestors feared the season so deeply, how they survived it, and what happened when we stopped being afraid.

The answer to Father Frost's question determined who lived and who died. Our ancestors encoded real survival psychology into this story — lessons that modern research has confirmed. This wasn't entertainment. It was preparation.

"Are you warm, my child?"
