Kolobok comes from Russian folklore, where he is a small round bun baked by an elderly couple who comes to life and rolls away from home. On his journey he meets a hare, a wolf and a bear, outwitting each one with a cheerful song, before a cunning fox finally tricks him. The tale has been retold in children's books, nursery rhymes and animated adaptations for generations, making Kolobok one of the most recognisable figures in Russian storytelling. Online, the name alone now signals a cheeky escape, a narrow getaway or a playful trick.
