A bold tribute to the Matryoshka Tradition of the Slavic Heartland where the rich visual and material culture of the Russian and Slavic world, expressed through the nesting matryoshka dolls with their hand-painted folk designs, the bold geometric patterns of Khokhloma lacquerware, the onion domes of Orthodox churches gleaming gold against winter skies, and the embroidered linens and wool felt of village folk tradition, represents one of the most distinctive and globally recognized aesthetic traditions in human history, where the Slavic cultural sphere encompassing Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, the Czech lands, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and a dozen other nations shares deep roots in the Common Slavic language, Orthodox or Catholic Christianity, and folk traditions of extraordinary richness and variety, and where the matryoshka doll, first created in 1890 by craftsman Vasily Zvyozdochkin and artist Sergei Malyutin, has become perhaps the single most recognized symbol of Russian and Slavic cultural identity worldwide.
