Note:
(a) Cossacks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossack
(Cossacks were originally members of military communities in Ukraine and
southern Russia. Their origins are a subject of scholarly dispute./The word
Cossack is originally a Turkic word, qazaq, which means "adventurer" or "
free man")
(b) You can find images of "Babushka dolls" in the web.

Babushka means "grandmother" or "old woman" in Russian.

My comment: The significance is unknown. Opposition in Taiwan charged that
Beijing pre-aproved the visit.
