Background
At the same time the album was released, the group started a new tour, also named "Matryoshka". The group visited all the larger cities of Russia and Ukraine and also included other countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Israel.
The album consists of ten new songs and the cover on "Государство", a song by Grazhdanskaya Oborona.
Reception
Alexey Mazhaev from InterMedia believes that the conceptual nature of the album did not particularly benefit him. Sergei Budkin from Experty.by expressed the opinion that on this album, the musicians deliberately abandoned the surround sound and rich arrangements, so listening to their songs is sometimes a very difficult task.
