The oldest Russian stacking dolls date from 1890 in history. I do not know the ages of these dolls that I have listed, but they are beautiful. A matryoshka doll also known as a Russian nesting doll, stacking dolls, or Russian doll,[1] is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. The name "matryoshka" (матрёшка), literally "little matron", is a diminutive form of Russian female first name "Matryona" (Матрёна) or "Matriosha".[2][full citation needed] A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure which seperates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. The first Russian nested doll set was made in 1890 by Vasily Zvyozdochkin from a design by Sergey Malyutin, who was a folk crafts painter at Abramtsevo.
