Another composer (Mozart) did write the Magic Flute. That is why the question is "which was NOT composed by Tchaikovsky"!

I didn’t know who wrote ‘The Magic Flute’ but I knew that the other options were definitely written by Tchaikovsky.

yea I first skipped the quiz then thought what the hell, lets give it a go. And figured I probably would only get 3 right. But actually I only got 3 wrong !! much much better than I expected beforehand (but during I allready realised it wasnt too bad) the music, sea, and least guessed question.

they're called matryoshka in Russian; babushka is well-known as the old woman / grandmother and the iconic headscarf

Having spent the first 5+ years of my life there, I can absolutely assure you that "Babushka" means grandmother, but is often used just to refer to old ladies, and "Matryoshka" is a stacking doll.

great quiz but as a russian speaker babushka actually translates better as grandma but in the streets if you say "smotri na etu babushku" (look at that old woman/grandma) it better translates to old woman but in most scenarios it is grandma

13/15 great quiz. I had selected Anastasia but confused it with the former monarchs in France, Austria, and Spain (I had heard this name before from those regions, if I remember correctly).
