Is anyone a collector or a "maven" of these, also called Babushkas/Matryoshkas?Matrioshkas/Russian nesting dolls? I need someone to check facts, lend an ear, that sort of thing....

Hi wingsofsong - I have several sets of these packed away (but accessible) and I also have access to a former Soviet immigrant community (not just from Russia, Ukraine, and other "provinces" too). What's your question? Puma

I have some of these, too (more of them have passed through my hands as gifts). I know a fair bit about what's done with them in today's Russia (painted up and sold to tourists!), but I have no idea what their historical origins are.
