A chaotic and unexpected scene unfolded at a major store in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, when a violent fight broke out between two men dressed as Santa Clauses. The shocking incident sparked a wide reaction on social media after the footage was shared. The brawl took place in the fresh produce aisle of the 'MegaStore', where the men exchanged blows and shoved each other, knocking over a small Christmas tree during the commotion. One man was dressed in a red costume similar to the Western Santa Claus, while the other wore a white one with a traditional white beard. A security guard attempted to intervene and stop the fight, but was forcefully pushed away by the red-suited Santa. The confrontation only stopped after two other security guards stepped in and finally managed to separate the two men. The police have detained the two men and begun questioning them to determine the cause of their dispute. It is worth noting that the 'Ded Moroz' (Grandfather Frost) tradition dates back to the Soviet era, when he distributes gifts around the New Year, not on Christmas Eve. It is based on Slavic folklore, not on Saint Nicholas as in the Western tradition.
