Matryoshka: The Russian Nesting Doll exhibit opens at the Museum of Russian Art.

It was originally published online in “Timothy McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.” The video and music are by Paul Digby.

My best friend brought this back from Latvia for me a few years ago since she knows I love history and politics. It’s a very unique matryoshka doll, also known as a Russian nesting (or stacking) doll. I know the correct plural is matryoshki, but it was late when I filmed this and made a few blunders. Forgive me! Spasibo. 
I want to make a set of nesting dolls for someone for Christmas, but I don’t know how I would go about making the wood part without cutting my fingers off. So can anyone tell me where I can get an unpainted nesting doll set?
Thank you!

This was asked yesterday and before I could complete an answer, the question was marked resolved. So I wanted to open it back up to see if anyone had any other thoughts on this topic. Here is my original response:
Great question. My first response is that we cannot be sure of anything especially fate since this refers to events that (within our own realm of perception) have not yet come to pass.
But what is fate*?
*******************************
Fate may refer to:
Destiny (an inevitable course of events)
Destiny refers to a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the cosmos.
Fatalism (a philosophical doctrine)
Fatalism – While the terms are often used interchangeably, fatalism, determinism, and predestination are discrete in emphasizing different aspects of the futility of human will or the foreordination of destiny.
*******************************
Hmmm, "fultility of human will"…. Perhaps there are many levels or layers to this concept of fate. I can imagine a series of cosmic nesting dolls that contain a fate within a destiny within a predestination all the way down to how an atom works in your body.
Which layer are we in, in relation to this template called fate?
I would assume we are in all layers at the same time which consequently breaks fate down into infinitely smaller and smaller layers (or larger and larger layers depending on your direction of query).
Is there still fate when you are at the atomic level and you ask is the fate of the world to end 4 billion years from now? Can the atom perceive the outer shells of the cosmic nesting doll from this level? It depends on where you are asking from and what you are asking for.
We all know what the ultimate "fate" of the Earth** is as the sun enters its Red Giant phase billions of years from now. So it can be argued that human will is completely futile at this level. But what about at the level of the next moment?
Will I go get a cup of coffee or finish typing this out?
Perhaps it’s the magnitude of events that make a larger, longer lasting imprint on the fabric of space and time thus creating a form of fate greater than our perception. i.e. what if fate is non linear but more like a pebble dropping in a pond?
I have to believe that at this Earthly level, as thinking humans with a world of choices in each moment, our immediate futures (seconds to years) are manifested through the decisions we make in connection with the infinite, uncontrollable forces of the Universe.
A dynamic, ever changing and uncertain future. Isn’t life exciting?

It’s a blue nesting doll shirt and was in the episode "Pledge Allegiance" (Sept. 23, 2008)
"Matryoshka"
I once was your matryoshka
and that was what I, I wished for,
doted on for a sweet disposition,
for my counsel you implored.
So quickly do things seem to change,
and so very eager am I to forget,
the first insult you fired at me,
formed only a crack in my porcelain skin.
I’m not your matryoshka, wo-o-ah, I’m not anymore. x2
I thought you only jested,
and it’s my soul’s nature to forgive,
since I believed I was in love,
all I did was give and give.
But all you did was take,
and evilly, greedily so did you,
you found the fissure withing myself
and then you magnified it too.
I’m not your matryoshka, woah, I’m not anymore. x2
My dolly faults now on display,
the wanton child you saw
Ne’er afraid to let me know
Of my each and every, every flaw.
You have no respect for me,
which atrophied my outer shell,
the sweet matryoshka you once had,
now the scapegoat of, of your Hell.
Chorus x2
My toy eyes so wished to cry,
but my smile was painted on,
you only lived to torture me,
and now I’m glad, I’m glad you’re gone.
But I found how to build myself,
after my pieces fell to the floor,
I once was your matryoshka,
but Heaven knows I’m not anymore.
This song is very emotional for me. I’m a relatively confident girl, but I’ve had many people take advantage of me, and this one guy was the last straw. In fact, today he did something awful to me that shows me just how horrible he is. A matryoshka is a nesting doll.
