Question by 0_0: Did Russia bring/”introduce” America to the nesting/Matryoshka/Babushka dolls?
Was Russia the first inventors of these dolls? Were they the ones who brought them to America? Did RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS bring the nesting dolls to America?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matryoshka_doll (even though it says “Russian nesting doll”, I just need to be sure.

There is a theory that the ancestor of the matryoshka was this japanese doll – http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00aBSQZTGKHLcj…
Matryoshka dolls are made everywhere. Even in New Zealand.
wschmerz says
Contrary to the popular belief that "Matryoshka" is the traditional Russian doll, it became known to Russians only in the 19th century, when it was developed after the Indian/Chineese toy Dahrooma, which was a figure of a moustached man, which contained some smaller token inside. Russians changed it so it appear like a girl and nest another toy of the same pattern inside.

I have seen many styles. Even ceramic! Mother Russia is where these come from.
