Matryoshka dolls – which feature a set of wooden figures of decreasing size placed one inside another – will be a must-buy for many of the fans in Russia this summer.

As reported by RT, makers of the iconic items have also ensured they are well-prepared for the World Cup by painting dozens in the image of players at the tournament. That includes England star Harry Kane, who when asked about his likeness depicted in some of the dolls said they made him appear “a bit chubby.”
