Correct spelling is Matryoshka (MA as in MAster, TR as in TRansit, YO as in YOrk , etc.), with accent on sylabe "TRYO". In Russian this name is written as MATRESHKA with E with "umlaut", i.e. with double-dot diacritics above the letter E. Sometimes this double-dot is in printed text ommited (due to common knowledge of pronunciation of this word to Russians - and in other words too). Pronounciation of E (without double dot diacritics) is "YE", with double-dots "YO". This is somewhat similar, as in the case of lete "YA" and "YU". Mgr. Antonin Vitek, CSc.
