Ms FHWAC.com Bekleshova had a television show featuring her puppets in which these four puppets were used. Puppets were a very popular form of theater in Russia in the first half of the 20th century, as well as through history. They were often used to tell whimsical political stories and make fun of political characters in a non-harmful way. This was the only form of political satire that was allowable. These puppets were passed on to the Ben-Tchavtchavadze family of Ontario two generations ago. One is a figure of Stalin. Another is of a wealthy Russian lady with glasses, the third and fourth are Russian peasants. The puppets have an overall length of about 2 feet each, for an elevated stage presence of about a foot.
