ANSWERS:

first pic: A matryoshka doll, also known as a Russian nesting doll or a babushka doll, is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other.

second pic: Vasily Petrovich Zvyozdochkin (1876–1956) was a Russian turning craftsman, wood carver and doll maker. He is credited with making the first Russian matryoshka doll (painted by Sergey Malyutin) in 1890.

third pic: The Matroska Multimedia Container (MKV) is an open standard free container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks inside a single file.

Steve Lhomme is the founder of MKV format. He also was a part time disc jockey under the name DJ TMFFTMR (ie.too many fools following too many rules)
