The untranslated part of the caption (after "Auntie Anya") reads "sour-lipped lady," or something like that (кислогубая баба).
Am I wrong about the family resemblance? I saw this in a book I picked up the other day (Russian Wooden Sculpture by N. Pomerantsev) - R.I.P., Second Story of Bethesda - and couldn't resist posting it. Must be the close-set eyes and, um, expressive (not to say pouty) lips.

Of course - he's been keeping it under wraps for years, assisted by his krovavaia gebnya buddies! Get Kasparov on the case!
The book noted that the thing that looks like a big birthmark is actually birch bark - apparently this was carved from a single piece of birch.
