{{Orphan|date=April 2016}}Kubyshka is an early East Slavic ceramic jar or pot with narrow hole, short or absent neck and wide, rounded body.^[1] In the past the term kubyshka, a diminutive derivation from the word Куб (kub) in the generic meaning of "container",^[2] had a broader meaning of various rounded containers, e.g. a barrel^[1] or birch bark kubyshka.^[3]

The word has become associated with buried hoards^[4] and is used in a number of idioms associated with hoarding or reserve saving (держать в кубышке (keep in a kubyshka), класть в кубышку (put into a kubyshka), etc.).

The word is also used as a euphemism or a nickname for a short, plump person.^[5] For example, in Sergei Prokofiev's ballet Cinderella, a wicked stepsister's nickname Kubyshka was variously translated as Fatty,^[6] Dumpy, etc. Princess Anastasia, the daughter of tsar Nicholas II of Russia was nicknamed "Kubyshka". ^[7]
