I learned something new the other day. Russian nesting dolls have identical nested dolls inside, and Ukrainian nesting dolls have dolls with different designs nested within each other. - Who knew?
The sets in this picture were 5 or 10 dolls deep. I didn't get one but I was tempted. I might the next time I see them. My favorite was when the seller opened a set for me and said "See? Father... Inside... Mother... Inside... Daughter... Cat... Chicken!" - I started laughing at "Cat" (Daughter... CAT?) but "Chicken" just about did me in!
* Every time I post something I've shared with friends in "real life," I worry they'll find my blog and "un anon" me or think I STOLE material from here! For the record: - I TOTALLY did not! :)

You are funny about the TOTALLY did not steal thing :) I love nesting dolls, by the way. I think they are so awesome . . . chickens? haha
The funny thing is, none of my "off line" friends read blogs! But things could still pop up in a Google search, and since I've shared several recent photos/posts with a couple of them, I really do think that whenever I click "submit!" Luckily I'd be fine with them reading here :)
I've always wanted one of those, but I didn't know there was a difference between Russian and Ukrainian ones :)
Me too!
I've always found nesting dolls fascinating. I love the feathery chicken center!
I loved the logical progression of "Father" to "Chicken!" :)
The Difference between Russian and Ukrainean Russian Nesting Dolls is:
-a different country
-a different tradition
-different fairytales sometimes
-the folk clothes are different
