Those cards are for the domestic market (pretty obvious from Russian writing), and that's ‘native’ Ded Moroz, not Santa. He just does look that way, possibly due to earlier cross-pollination.

Obviously it is for the domestic market and it is Ded Moroz. The question was that why does it look more like a Santa Claus than Saint Nicolas. It looks here even more than the Santa than in the earlier version.
