Oh, I do remember that particular story. Thank you. And yeah, the Vassilisa story is really the one Baba-Jaga story I'm familiar with--the "good witch/evil witch" dichotomy and the idea of the hut as a place of initiation is a really interesting one, and something I definitely haven't seen as much in Western fairy tales.
