This set of boxes was created by P. Borisov from the village of Fedoskino. It includes three boxes that rest on the tray. Each box features a character from Pushkin's introduction to the popular poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila": Koshchey the Deathless, Baba-Yaga, and the Mermaid. Looking at them we can remember this beautiful Pushkin's creation:

An oak tree greening by the ocean;
A golden chain about it wound:
Whereon a learned cat, in motion
Both day and night, will walk around;
On walking right he sings a song,
On walking left, he tells a lay.
A magic place: there wends his way
The woodsprite, there's a mermaid sitting
In branches, there on trails past knowing
Are tracks of beast you never met;
On chicken feet a hut is set
With neither door nor window showing.
There wood and dale with wonders teem;
At dawn of day the breakers stream
Upon the bare and barren lea,
And thirty handsome armored heroes
File from the waters' shining mirrors,
With them their Usher from the Sea.
There glimpse a prince, and in his slave;
Alot, before the people massing,
Across the wood, across the wave,
A warlock bears a warrior brave;
See Baba-Yaga's mortar glide
All of itself, with her astride.
There droops Kashey, on treasure bent;
There's Russia's spirit... Russian scent!

Mother-of-pearl and gold metal leaf decorate each box. The exterior of the tray and of all three boxes is decorated with dark green blurry spots of various shades. The interior of the boxes is traditionally red. The tray is additionally decorated with the gold pattern highlighted with green paints. Each box is hinged and has a flat bottom. The work is signed, titled "By the Ocean", and dated (2005) by the artist. The Fedoskino "Troika" insignia can be found on the interior of the lids of all boxes.
