I think that Paparuda is Persephone. I can not be certain.
I don't have time to write much now. But before I forget- I think Paparuda = Papaluga = Pepeljuga = Cinderella. Shivers!
I do not have time to write today. But Elizabeth Wayland Barber wrote that Paparuda is somehow related to Perun. I disagree.
UPDATE: oops! I guess she is correct. Here is a link to Wikpedia. It shows Paparuda as the wife of Perun...

I was in a hurry and did not take notes. Now, I can't find the page that connected Paparuda to Papalluga - I hope it's a variant spelling.
UPDATE 2: Found a list of names of Cindrerella. I count 9 languages where Cinderella ressembles Paparuda. It's on the Wikipedia page for Cinderella:
