Got a funny story to go with that:

My sister went to one of the Russian stores in her home town in Germany, she told the proprietor (who speaks NO German) that she needed a Babushka. The Russian lady indicated that they did not have Babushkas. My sister indicated the motion of stacking the dolls, even making a smacking sound with her lips to indicate the nesting sound. (I ROFLed when she told me). Anyway, no "Babushka" was to be had.

So she went to another store, again asking for a Babushka. This sales lady asked: Why you want Grandmother? Babushka = Grandmother. Matryoshka = Stacking Doll. lol
