I have been reading a story of a young girl from Austria during World War II that received help from a group of Russian soldiers that later called her "Mamuschka" and it does not show up in a Russian Dictionary...it shows up as a dance....but the term must mean something nice....just wanted to know

"Babushka" means beautiful woman/girl. I studied Russian. I'll check my books and get back to you.

Mamushka (without the c) has something to do with the infamous nested dolls doesn't it?

It was also referenced in song lyrics in the Adams Family movie...

@lutheria,
Mamushka means little mother
Babushka means little grandmother
