Bill Clinton Monica Lewinsky Paula Jones Gennifer Flowers and Hillary Rodham Clinton Nesting Dolls

199983817c1999. Presumed one of a number of multiple originals. Matryoshka. Very good. Approximately 6.5 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide. Andrew Morton's Monica's Story was published in early 1999 and as its cover is prominently displayed on the outer Bill Clinton doll. Thus 1999 is used as the date that this doll was produced. A political sex scandal involving US President Bill Clinton and 24-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky took place in 1998. Their sexual relationship lasted between 1995 and 1997. Clinton ended a televised speech in late January 1998 with the statement that he "did not have sexual relations with that woman Ms. Lewinsky." Further investigation led to charges of perjury and to the impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998 by the U.S. House of Representatives. He was subsequently acquitted on all impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in a 21-day Senate trial. Clinton was held in civil contempt of court by Judge Susan Webber Wright for giving misleading testimony in the Paula Jones case regarding Lewinsky and was also fined $90000 by Wright. His license to practice law was suspended in Arkansas for five years; shortly thereafter he was disbarred from presenting cases in front of the United States Supreme Court. In addition to Monica Lewinsky there are dolls representing Paula Jones Gennifer Flowers and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Gennifer Flowers born January 24 1950 nicknamed "Buffles" by schoolmates is an American author singer model actress former State of Arkansas employee and former TV journalist. In 1998 President Bill Clinton testified under oath that he had had a sexual encounter with Flowers. Matryoshka dolls also known as babushka dolls stacking dolls nesting dolls Russian tea dolls or Russian dolls are a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. The name matryoshka literally "little matron" is a diminutive form of the Russian female first name "Matryona" or "Matryosha". A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure which separates at the middle top from bottom to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside which has in turn another figure inside of it and so on. The first Russian nested doll set was made in 1890 by wood turning craftsman and wood carver 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 any gender; the smallest innermost doll is typically a baby turned from a single piece of wood. Much of the artistry is in the painting of each doll which can be very elaborate. The dolls often follow a theme; the themes may vary from fairy tale characters to Soviet leaders. In the west matryoshka dolls are often referred to as babushka dolls babushka meaning "grandmother" or "old woman". In the late 1980s and early 1990s during Perestroika freedom of expression allowed the leaders of the Soviet Union to become a common theme of the matryoshka with the largest doll featuring then-current leader Mikhail Gorbachev. These became very popular at the time affectionately earning the nickname of a Gorba or Gorby the namesake of Gorbachev. With the periodic succession of Russian leadership after the collapse of the Soviet Union newer versions would start to feature Russian presidents Boris Yeltsin Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev. Most sets feature the current leader as the largest doll with the predecessors decreasing in size. The remaining smaller dolls may feature other former leaders such as Leonid Brezhnev Nikita Khrushchev Joseph Stalin Vladimir Lenin and sometimes several historically significant Tsars such as Nicholas II and Peter the Great. Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko rarely appear due to the short length of their respective terms. Some less-common sets may feature the current leader as the smallest doll with the predecessors increasing in size usually with Stalin or Lenin as the largest doll.<br/> Some sets that include Yeltsin preceding Gorbachev were made during the brief period between the establishment of President of the RSFSR and the collapse of the Soviet Union as both Yeltsin and Gorbachev were concurrently in prominent government positions. During Medvedev's presidency Medvedev and Putin may both share the largest doll due to Putin still having a prominent role in the government as Prime Minister of Russia. As of Putin's re-election as the fourth President of Russia Medvedev will usually succeed Yeltsin and preceded Putin in stacking order due to Putin's role solely as the largest doll. Political matryoshkas usually range between five and ten dolls per set. unknown
