July 31 (Rusberg) — About 5 million Russian matryoshkas (nesting dolls) — nearly a half of the total yearly production — is without owners and need government aid, a report by major relief russian agencie says.
The Non-Governmental Organization Committee of cultural problems in Russia have issued a briefing paper that says slow trade in nesting dolls sector leads to a humanitarian crisis that has worsened since last ten years.
The paper, called “Rising to the Humanitarian Challenge by matryoshka makers in Russia,” is the latest documentation of the misery faced by russian matryoshka painters.
“Five million nesting dolls are in urgent need of emergency aid. Most of them are contained in rooms without basic services and increasingly threatened by dampness and tightness,” said the relief agencie’s report.
“The government of Russia and international donors can do more to deliver humanitarian assistance to reduce unnecessary suffering. If matryoshka’s basic needs are left unattended, this will only serve to further worsening the condition.”
And so on ... Fool's day joke?
