I thought it might interest you fellows that the Scrooge McDuck Wiki is growing at a steady rate, and that I have just today created its 666th page — and that page, which I had been saving for that very occasion, is Chernabog!
The only Disney character from my home country... Yeeey!
Well, technically, the pilgrims/monks/whoever seen in the Ave Maria segment come from the nearby village, so…
Also, if Wikipedia is to be trusted, there's some debate on whether the folklorical Bald Mountain/Lysa Hora is located in Poland or in Ukraine. There's no telling which Disney picked. (Or, heck, considering how different Easter Europe must look in the Duckverse owing to those many, many fictional countries, for all we know, the Disney Bald Mountain could be located in Medioka or Brutopia or Felonia or something.)
Well, the Bald Moutain/Łysa góra is a famous location here and it's iconical for the palce where the Witches' Sabbaths took places (I was there once or twice - they actual marked the spot where the witches use to do rituals) and as far I recall the artis who did design for the scene was Polish and took inspiratin. Plus Czarnobóg (Chernobog) is taken from our mithology/folklor...
Can't speak for Ukraine, ods hae they share the same folklor. Maybe there is a second bold moutian known for it's yearly witch rituals...
