- рынок!</em></span></h2></div></div></div><p>In addition to the usual grocery stores and supermarkets, Moscow and
- St. Petersburg have a large number of <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">рынки</em></span> farmers' markets. These are usually
- open-air affairs, though there are those which are located in large,
- enclosed buildings and can operate year-round. These markets are where
- individuals can sell the produce from their own "kitchen gardens". Here
- you will also find fresh flowers, a broad assortment of handmade items,
- such as wooden toys, knitted scarves and hats and all sorts of other
- things.</p><p>In the Soviet period these markets were often the only places where
- you would consistently find good quality <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">фрукты</em></span> fruits, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">овощи</em></span> vegetables and <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">мясо</em></span> meat. Of course then, when the markets
- were the only legal havens of capitalism, the prices were much higher than
- they would have been in the state-owned stores. Today the markets face
- competition from the great number of foreign-owned stores and you'll find
- the market prices more or less in the line with prices in those
- stores.</p><p>Besides being a good source of fresh produce, the markets also
- provide valuable "cultural experiences". A trip to the market can be fun
- and interesting. But while there, you'll need to keep a close eye on your
- purse and wallet as these markets are the favorite haunts of
- pickpockets.</p></section><footer/></body></html>
