Russian deli - Zephyr

Zephyr (let's call it marshmallow, still the taste is quite different) is a kind of sugar confectionery; it is made of fruit-berry puree mixed with sugar and egg white, then any of the formative fillings is required: pectin, agar syrup, gelatin (marmalade) mass.

Zephyr is known may years, it was first cooked and popular in ancient Greece, where it received its name from the god Zephyr who, according to mythology, gave this recipe to people.

As  the marshmallow is based on fruit puree, this pleasant deli is undoubtedly useful! Thanks to therein carbohydrate this snowy snack promotes mental activity, and is good for digestion, says wiki.

Russian style bag with matryoshka

Matryoshka - is a traditional Russian nesting doll, usually made of wood 

It is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside the other. 

The first Russian nested doll set was carved in 1890 by Vasily Zvyozdochkin from a design by Sergey Malyutin, who was a folk crafts painter at Abramtsevo. Traditionally the outer layer is a woman, dressed in a sarafan, a long and shapeless traditional Russian peasant jumper dress. The figures inside may be of either gender; the smallest, innermost doll is typically a baby lathed from a single piece of wood. Much of the artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be very elaborate (c)
