The Art of the Russian Matryoshka is the most comprehensive account of the history, production, varieties, and creators of these charming dolls. In their short 100-year history, they have become more than a popular souvenir or a folk craft; they are a medium for talented Russian artist-entrepreneurs. They have become a symbol of Russian folk culture, if not Russia itself.
