1. Who was the first person to make the Russian nesting dolls?As the story goes, the first matrioshka was made in 1890, in Sergiev Posad. Like Pinocchio it had own Mister Geppetto, even two. They were woodcarver Vasiliy Zvezdochkin (literally 'Starman') and painter Sergei Maliutin. The nesting doll's star ascended in 1900 at the Paris exhibition. So this young maiden babooshka doll is almost 120 years old. Later artist Maliutin has been elected member of the Fine Art Academy. His technically complicated landscapes and portrait paintings are famed. But simple designed first nesting doll gave birth a whole guideline of applied folk art.http://souvenirsfromrussia.com/index.php?id=articles&tit=nd.txtMatryoshkas are a relatively new Russian handicraft; the first one dates from 1890, and is said to have been inspired by souvenir dolls from Japan. However, the concept of nested objects was familiar in Russia, having been applied to carved wooden apples and Easter eggs; the first Fabergé egg, in 1885, had a nesting of egg, yolk, hen, and crown.http://www.squidoo.com/matryoshka-Russian-nesting-dolls

There are several made in Lines West ( US). First of all there was a whole series of them made when the Cartoon film Anastasia came out in l997. The Girl Czarina is certainly Russian!. Then there have been Russian Barbies with the trademark hat, boots, etc ready for the Muscovite winter. Russian Girls often use what is called a Muff to protect their hands from the cold. I think the Russian Barbie had one of these.
