The wide fame was won by Russian matryoshka                  (nesting doll) far abroad. At all large exhibitions, fairs, the                  festivals held in different counties of the world, amusing cheerful                  nesting dolls were most fascinating exhibits. Also it seems, that                  matroyshka nesting doll has come to us from a gray-haired antiquity,                  from the world of legends and fairy tales. Actually this wooden                  doll is about hundred years.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://russian-crafts.com/nesting-dolls/history.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/russian-crafts.com/img/25FB1719-BD3C-4FF2-926F-B5E9541A4211" alt="History of Russian matryoshka" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://russian-crafts.com/nesting-dolls/history.html"><P align="left"><A href="http://russian-crafts.com/nest/history/first.jpg"><IMG height="145" align="right" width="160" src="http://russian-crafts.com/nest/history/first-s.jpg" alt="" /></A>The first Russian nesting doll (matryoshka) was born in 1890                  in the workshop "Children's Education" situated in Abramtsevo                  estate new Moscow.
