About the design

Ivan Tsarevitch is the central figure in Russian folklore. He often appears as the third son of either a peasant family or a king. Ivan Tsarevich's companions and adversaries are frequently mythical creatures like the magical gray wolf, the firebird, and other immortal beings. "Tsarevitch Ivan, the Firebird, and the Gray Wolf" is the most famous folktale featuring Ivan as the protagonist.

Other folktales about Ivan include Tsarevna the Frog Princess, The Sea Tsar and Vasilisa the Wise, "The Tale of Rejuvenating Apples and the Life Water, and The Death of Koschei the Immortal (also known as "Marya Morevna").
