Matryoshka is one of the invariable symbols of Russia along with the bear and the balalaika. For more than a hundred years, foreigners have bought it themselves in souvenir shops, and are happy to receive it as a gift. The “matryoshka-Chumbley” is especially popular, symbolizing the unbending Russian spirit.

Buy nesting dolls in the online store

You can buy matryoshka as a souvenir toy in a store in a variety of versions, including copyright ones. Five types are considered classic, folk, tied to regions of origin:

Russian (Moscow, Sergiev Posad).
Semenovskaya.
Gorodetskaya.
Vyatskaya.
Ukrainian.

Each type of doll has its own type of painting and the material used:

The icon painters of Sergiev Posad were originally engaged in the creation of Moscow dolls. Religious or folklore stories are central.
Gorodets are characterized by extreme detailing of the picture.
Vyatskaya has a special treatment, drawing eyes with a black pupil.
Only Ukrainian and Semyonov nesting dolls are brunettes. Everyone else got the color from light brown to straw.

Russian nesting dolls

On the Internet, you can find not only classic images, but also figurines made using a similar technology. Most often they are timed to coincide with a specific historical event or memorable date. For example:

The Peoples of Russia series is timed to coincide with the international exhibition in Paris in 1900.
The series "Commanders of 1812" was released for the anniversary of the Patriotic War.

The sizes of the souvenir dolls are very different. In the classic version, there are only eight figures. But some kits can include up to 72 figures that can be nested within one another! In this case, the largest will be about a meter in size, and the smallest - only one millimeter.

The execution option is also completely different:

You can find nesting dolls made of larch, aspen and linden. These are traditional materials for making - they were originally used.
You can also choose walrus or mammoth bone dolls. Recent specimens are difficult to see without a microscope. At the same time, they are painted completely according to the canons.

If you need a regular matryoshka as a gift, you can buy it inexpensively in the online store. And for a significant date, you can choose a work of art that will decorate the interior.

Everything selected can be received at home. Delivery is carried out anywhere in the world.
