Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It occasionally shoots small puffs of smoke from its nose, like it's trying to breathe fire.
And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are usually left alone by their mother and begin to hunt and survive on their own.

After the fiasco with Joseph Stalin, an aggressive Red dragon whose nature only intensified as he matured, there has been a nearly unanimous decision to stop problem hatchlings before they reach maturity.  Hence, Malenkov has been enchanted to remain in immaturity.  Although not as aggressive as Joseph, Malenkov showed signs of following in the older dragon's footsteps.
