I had some of those too! I don't know what happened to them. :(
I wish I had the set of nesting dolls I had as a child!
Mom said that she had some matryoshki at work (she still has), but impudent people had stolen a lot of inner parts (smaller matryoshki). Moreover, unfortunately, classical wooden ones develop cracks periodically (the combination of humidity and hot air because of central heating inside the buildings make them chap and split easily). Nowadays they're considered expensive souvenir production, and very few can afford them. I saw a lot of them during our trips (e.g. in kiosks at train stops). I remember taking photos of them in Tula, Kirov, Yeletz, etc., where they are cheaper than over here, but i have a lot of "more important things" to buy, and i would buy such a kind of thing only if it was a present for someone who desperately needs it (i don't know anyone collecting matryoshki though, lol).
 
Morning/afternoon y'all! It is a beautiful sunny morning with very pleasant temperatures and a slight chance of showers. Today is library day but I don't have any other plans. I will just see if I feel like doing anything else! It is the Daytona 500 today so Daytona is to be avoided.
