This is Wolf and Sheep, a version of the game known in the anglophone word as Fox and Geese, adapted to a hexagonal board by the Soviet geologist Isaak Grigor'evich Shafran, who has also created a Hexagonal Chess game (also see http://www.math.bas.bg/~iad/tyalie/shegra/shegrax.html for a description and ZRF) and two versions of hexagonal draughts.
 
The original name of the game was Kid and Wolves, after a Russian `horror nursery rhyme' (who said that England had a monopoly on those?) about a careless little goat who walks into the woods and gets eaten by a pack of famished grey predators.
In this game, however, the chased party has very good chances of not getting caught, which may be the reason it acquired a new name. 'Nu, pogodi!' ('Just You Wait!') is a very popular Soviet cartoon featuring the foolish Big Bad Wolf's repeated and vain efforts to seize the cheerful Good Little Hare.
