[mat-ryosh-ka (mat-ryosh-ki)]
🔻 The name 'матрёшка' came from a Russian female name 'Матрёна' [mat-ryo-na].
🔻Russian Matryoshka dolls became popular in Russia only at the end of the 19th century, however, since then they have become a symbol of Russian culture.
🔻At the end of the 19th century, in the Moscow toy workshop “Children’s Education” the first Russian matryoshka was brought to life by Savva Mamontov who had been inspired by Japanese wooden toys.
🔻The largest Martryoshka doll ever created contained more than 50 pieces, and the smallest one contained only one millimeter piece.
🔻These toys have deep symbolic meaning. They represent unity and connection between people, and also represent the life cycle - birth, growth, aging and death.
🔻These toys are a striking example of how folk art can become part of the cultural heritage and a popular souvenir for tourists.

🔻500,000 rubles of the 1995 year is one of the most expensive banknotes in post-Soviet Russia.
🔻Also due to hyperinflation in Russia, it was the largest banknote of that period.
🔻 From January 1, 1998, the ruble was denominated 1000 times (❗). Taking into account the short period of its circulation and high purchasing power, only a few kept those banknotes “as a souvenir” after the redenomination. Therefore, they are currently in high demand among collectors.
🔻Depending on the condition of the banknote, the prices can reach 500 or 1000 dollars.

• Станция 'Достоевская'
[stan-tsy-ya das-ta-yefs-ka-ya]
🔻Near the station there is a street of the same name and a mansion where Fyodor Dostoevsky lived. Now there is a house museum there.
🔻The station was opened in 2010, but there are still disputes over its design.
🔻It is considered to be the most literary and most depressing station of Moscow Metro.
🔻On the walls of the station the scenes (including scenes of violence)
illustrating four novels by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, The Brothers Karamazov) are depicted.
🔻Everyone who enter it are accompanied by two sinister silhouettes: the black shadow of a man in a hat, and the figure of a woman in a long white dress.
