Celebrity Dolls
In the political upheavals of the late 1980s & early 1990s political caricatures came to the fore. The 'Glasnost' & 'perestroika' of that time meant that 'Gorby' dolls became the most popular
nesting doll. They are said to resemble 'Hetman' a famous nesting doll of the early 20th century from
Sergiev Posad.
Since then most celebrities have become a focus of a set of, mostly satirical, Russian matryoshka. Popular ones include Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles and Michael Jackson
