The Russian tradition of matryoshka nesting dolls is descended from the medieval practice of burying the dead in concentric circles around the corpses of the previously deceased family members

---I knew those dolls had a name, my daughter had quite a few of them, mostly Christmas related ones. My other question is how would the exactly know where to bury the next family member. Grave markings couldnt have been that accurate back then.---
