The five graduated wood dolls are rendered in bold caricature style with striking expressions, tailored suits, and Kremlin and military motifs, all finished in a glossy lacquer.

-Authentic Russian production with interior inscription reading “Moskva 1991” in Cyrillic script, confirming late–Soviet era manufacture.
-Hand-turned and hand-painted wood; each doll opens smoothly to reveal the next, culminating in a tiny final figure that completes the political lineup.
-Vivid palette of reds, golds, blacks, and blues with strong graphic detailing that presents beautifully on a bookshelf, bar, or office credenza and appeals to collectors of political and Cold War memorabilia. See less
