I took this photograph in St. Petersburg,
Russia.
There’s a reason Russia is famous for nesting dolls, or Matryoshka dolls. But nobody knows why. You know them – the carvings, often of Russian peasant women, that consists of several dolls nested inside each other. They’ve been around in Russia since the early 19th century and are now mostly factory-manufactured, although if you look real hard you may find some handcarved ones. This particular souvenir stand is in St. Petersburg, but I saw them everywhere I went in Russia.
There have been many changes in the past century, but the nesting doll has remained very much the same
You can even have one of Putin.

That's millions of Russian dolls scattered around the country (and the rest of the world). I didn't buy one....

To me, they're pictures of Russia - they're all over the places we went to.
