This Source Of Information For The Russian Doll Collector Provided By The National GeographicUse the Search window below to search our web site The Russian Doll Collector will find this map produced by the National Geographic Society, a very informative assessory, it is very colorful and has illustrations of attire and captions pertaining to many of the districts of the Russian (Soviet Union) population. From the map you will be able to identify costumes that are worn by Russian dolls as well as to acquaint yourself with information from that region. Following is quoted some of the information which has been updated from the earlier map. Even it is outdated as you will see by reference to Soviet Union, but the regional information is helpful in determining its relation to the Russian dolls we long to identify. The pictures do not relate to any of the descriptions. KAZAKH ".......the Turkic speaking Kazakhs have for centuies been admired as skilled horsemen. Some of the semi-nomadic people still live in yurts, circular tents of felt." KIRGIZ "From the base of the snow-crusted Tien Shan, turbaned Kirgiz falconers on horseback release their birds to search for prey in the blue skies above small farms and pastures."
ARMENIAN "Their tradional homeland was centered in Northern Turkey, but Armenian culture today thrives chiefly in Soviet Armenia. Armenians form a highly concentrated population in the rocky valleys of Transcaucasia." TURKMEN "The Turkmens, noted for their frontierlike spirit, now raise large quantities of cotton and breed the sheep that produce "Persian Lamb"."
