Nesting Dolls Of Soviet Leaders In Redskins Gear
Posted by Matt Terl on June 23, 2011 – 12:52 pmA couple days ago I posted about some “wacky” Redskins nesting dolls. In hindsight, the wackiness quotient wasn’t that high. “Oooo, it’s Willie Parker, and Fred Davis’ number is wrong! ZANY!” Following that post, Reader Jason sent in a slightly zanier set of nesting dolls from his late mother’s collection, and I suspect these will remain just as bizarre in hindsight as they seem in the moment.
“Apparently,” Jason writes, “someone decided to create a nesting doll with pictures of Russian leaders wearing Redskins uniforms.”
And … yep, that’s what these would appear to be. (Click photos to enlarge.)
From left to right, that appears to be Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Boris Yeltsin. If there’s a rhyme or reason to who was assigned which jersey, I haven’t been able to figure it out, and I welcome suggestions.
More pictures after the jump.
Reader Jason offered no explanation as to why these things exist at all. They are amazing.
