didn't aloyosha play the balika?
The balalaika, yes. And it seems to me he played another instrument as well, though I can't think of it right now...

Untill now, I haven't seen any pictures of Alexei, playing with a model-railroad, they weren't so common yet, in those days, but I know, Maerklin in Germany already made them, track-size 0, I think. With this message you'll find a picture of a very young Russian ballalaica-player, nowadays. :)

You're right!


Somewhere, there's a photo of Aleksei as a very small child, sitting on the deck of the Standart with the yacht's balalaika orchestra, but I don't seem to have it...

Found it! (Thanks to clockworkgirl)


And these aren't toys, of course, but we all know how much Aleksei loved them -- hat, epaulettes, boots, & badge:
