Baba Yaga
| “ |
The bourgeois sees in his wife a mere instrument of production. He hears that the instruments of production are to be exploited in common, and, naturally, can come to no other conclusion than that the lot of being common to all will likewise fall to the women. |

Real life
Baba Yaga is one of the main characters in Das Pacito AMV Warriors, originating from Slavic folklore; she transmitted her soul into the body of Jenny von Westphalen, a historical figure from real life. Von Westphalen is a political activist recruited by the Das Pacitos, as well as the wife of Karl Marx.
History
Von Westphalen
Von Westphalen married Karl Marx sometime before 1883, but she forgot how to die, and so just kept on living. This worked out well, since Karl Marx's bloodline happened to be immortal.[1]
Baba Yaga and World War II
Meanwhile, Baba Yaga had been trapped in Hell on charges of necromancy; the only ways to escape from Hell were by using a Magic Travel Clock or transferring their soul into the wife of a leader who was not a leader, and not being able to afford a Magic Travel Clock, she did the latter and transferred her soul into von Westphalen[2] around the time of World War II. Soon after she did this, she realized the scientist working with her husband Karl Marx to create OCs was secretly Josef Mengele, and witnessed Mengele's attempts to create a portal to Hell. However, she stayed quiet and bode her time, as she was still adjusting to her new body and she knew "Doctor Joe" was under Marx's protection.[3]
Das Pacitos
When Karl Marx created the Das Pacitos, von Westphalen was enlisted, and attended the first meeting in the IHOP atop Mount Everest. Other than a brief and obnoxious appearance by James D. Rockefeller, the meeting was incredibly boring, and ended in a speech from Marx about why everyone should eat potato salad.[1] While the meeting was on break, Baba Yaga sensed that Marx had died. She made a beeline for Mengele's house, where she discovered that he had used both the Nazis and Soviets as funding for his OC projects.[3]
Baba Yaga then went to a cliff, presumably to vent to herself, but found Lenin there mourning Marx's death. She told him about actually being Baba Yaga, and he didn't entirely believe her, but the interaction was short-lived anyway as he went off to talk to the Marx Brothers the moment she said the word "family".[2] Knowing what was soon going to happen, she went to the vault Marx had locked his experiments in, and found Lenin there, goaded into traveling into the vault by Mengele. She tried to follow Lenin into the vault, but was confronted by Mengele; she attempted to shoot him but he had regenerative powers that kept him alive. He then threatened her with a gun, forcing her to retreat.[3]
Baba Yaga then acquired a van, the Funmobile, and went to collect the other Das Pacitos. However, she was too late – Mengele had already summoned his OCs. She picked the Das Pacitos up in her van and drove them away from the threat, all the way to the middle of Siberia. At a gas station there, she explained what she knew about Marx, Mengele, and OCs, and suggested they all flee to another plane of existence. However, Trotsky dissented, and so the group split into two. Baba Yaga continued on her journey through Siberia with Corn Cob Guy and Mikhail Bakhtin, and at one point they met up with Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the KGB, and Jerry, who joined the group.[3]
