It is indeed supposed to be the russian "doll-in-the-doll", however the native spelling was quite difficult to use, as were 'more correct' translitirations. 'Matroska' was eventually settled on because of the simplicity, however the actual russian spelling is shown at http://www.matroska.org . It is interesting that many people have related similarities between the word 'matroska' and words in their native language. While english has nothing close, many other languages have words with a variety of meanings.
