A vendor demonstrates opening a traditional Matryoshka doll or Russian nesting doll, bearing the faces of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (underneath) and President Dmitry Medvedev at a souvenir market in St. Petersburg September 26, 2011. Opinion polls indicate that Putin, who said on Saturday he would seek a return to the presidency after nearly four years as prime minister, is much more popular than his potential rivals and all but certain to win next March's presidential election.
I guess you can buy the full set online:

Nesting Doll "Medvedev-Putin and Co" is a humorous nesting doll with astonishingly realistic depictions of the major Russian and Soviet leaders of the last century.

Putin and Medvedev share the largest doll, followed by Yeltsin, Gorbachev, Stalin, and Lenin. More than mere caricatures, these faces are immediately recognizable and lifelike.
