This grandmother (called a Matryoshka in Russia) is wearing a Babuska scarf on her head. The dolls which we commonly refer to as Babushka are acually Matroyshka - named for the generations of women in a single family; all of whom apparently wore Babuska scarves on their heads at one time or another. Hence, the famous dolls:
"Babushka" dolls are everywhere now, and they're a trend that's not in danger of going anywhere (much like some of those beloved Matryoshkas tehmselves). But they're super cute and just a bit kitschy - who can resist?
