Others include a can of deodorant, a cucumber, a Russian doll – and a carnation.

Did they really need to get specific as to the nationality of the doll? LOL. Russian doll, French doll, Vietnamese doll.... ???!!! Does it really make a difference?!

Sounds as bad as the hemorrhoid surgery patient who became addicted to the “thrill of his therapeutic inserts...”

I don’t know how to post pictures so here is a link to Matryoshka (Russian) dolls. I have a set of the dolls so knew what they were talking about.

I'm sure they meant a "babushka doll".

At the risk of admitting that I read this thread out of a sense of morbid curiousity, I think they were referencing the mimushka dolls where a series of progressively smaller dolls are nested inside a larger doll. Those would be the only dolls that I would recognize as distinctly russian.

Maybe they meant those russian nesting dolls shaped like eggs in which there are numerous smaller dolls each inside the next larger one.

It probably was a Russian matryoshka doll, but the reporter or the nurse who told him didn't know the right name.

One could see where if one were hanging curtains in the nude and happened to fall onto a matryoshka doll, tragedy could ensue.

Actually yes. A Russian doll is a type of doll with a specific shape
